You start making .030 to .035 with single Colorado blade and you're going to have a huge market for night fishing!

I bought in bulk from Hagens, Barlow's, and got some from Cabelas. I'm using Hagen's professional wire former for the bending.

I agree on the thin wire & Colorado blades, especially if the wire is stiff where it "sings". Great dirty water baits too!
