[cool][#0000ff]As I mentioned, the feel becomes a matter of personal preference, after you have made and fished with a few spinners on different wire. I make them on wire as light as .022. It is noticeably much lighter than .026. The size in the middle is noticeably different than either at the top or bottom. But...only after you have worked with it and can feel the difference.

[#0000ff]Yes, I now use split rings on all my spinners. As you can see in the attached pics, this was not always so. But, when I used single hooks, I found that I had more "foul ups" on the cast, without split rings. And, with the freer swing of the hooks with a split ring, there is more of an "articulated" action. That can sometimes add to the attractiveness of a spinner.[/#0000ff]
