Whichever one is catching the fish that day.

>Beads?
I like the diamond cut clear colors best. Glass, if you can find them. They are more expensive, but I like the sound they make when they clink together. Plastics won't do that.

I like to make up the leaders in 6 foot lengths, so that if I need a shorter one, all I have to do is cut some off. I use the quick change plastic clevis, so that I don't have to put the blades on until I am ready to fish. They store better without the blades on, and I can change blades as often as I want. I tie up multiple combinations of colors, making sure to make some all one color, and some in mixed colors. I will try to make at least four of every combo, so that if that is the combo that is working, I can put more than one out, without having to take the time in the boat to tie them. I usually run only one blade.
Colors? As many colors as you can, but definately, reds, oranges, blues (purlple), greens (chart.), white, glow, gold and silver, and black.

>Hooks how many and what kind
>and size.
I like the Gamakatsu #6's. I tie two hook rigs for crawlers and one hook rigs for minnows.

This is just what I do, I'm sure everyone is different, and has their own ways.

Well I'll give some insight, but not my entire package deal for running spinners.

I use Gamakatzu Octopus hooks. 2 hooks with a EWG Gamakatzu trebble as a trailer hook. I space the hooks out and finish tying them.

I use about a 6 foot leader. This depends on situations though, but that is most common.

For blades and beads I like hex-cut beads for the larger presentations, and round beads for smaller presentations. The blades I prefer are Colorado's. Big one's.

The type of line I use depends on water conditions. Usually Trilene 14-17 lb XL is what I use.

If anyone has any questions about some details email me privately.

I airbrush my blades. combinations of greens, chartruse, yellows, red, and oranges. typicaly I use a rainbow or firetiger type patern. then I clearcoat with a silver metalic flake. and do another trick I cant talk about to get a metalic scale patern (green silver or gold). this is all applied to the front of a shiny chrome or brass blade so the back side offfers some flash. these blades blow away anything commercialy avalable.

I tie them with red,orange,green,chart,yellow and gold beads in every combination that I can think of. I use folded metal clevises becuase they tend to spin better (at least I think so). I use 17lb trilene xt and/or vanish. I have not experienced the problems associated with vanish that have come up in numerous other posts. typicaly I use a 3' lead with 2 #1 mustads or 2 #2 VMC's. I have tried smaller hooks and other brands but these are what seems to work best for me. I don't troll and usualy fish these w/b-bouncers or shorten the leader to 6-10" and fish in line behinde a 3/4 oz egg sinker "mayfly rig style".

I have been verry satisfied with these rigs and have seen them outfish anything else used on the boat- typicaly weight forwards like e-deries, weapons,pigmys and just about all the commercialy avalable harneses.
