Materials:
  • Coats & Clark Extra Strong Nylon Upholstery Thread - black
  • Coats Metallic Thread (40-wt.) - silver
  • Rosey's Powder Coating - olive gray 85% gloss
  • Deluxe Craft Fur from Hancock Fabrics - sage green
  • Gamakatsu Weighted Superline EWG Hook 5/0 - 1/8 ounce
  • Darice Craft Fur - silver (discontinued)
  • Hammered-silver #1 Colorado blade, split ring, and ball-bearing swivel
  • Sinful Colors Professional Nail Hardener - clear
  • Spirit River Real-Eyes Plus 3/16" - nickel/pearl

If the hook point should nick the lure's blade while in use, I will reduce the size of its blade and/or split ring.

The noise of the blade banging the hook might be attractive, and the impacts might impart a very different movement to the package.

Very cool lure! Good design idea. Fish striking at the flash of the blade might have no choice but to get the hook.
