Another way to attach the hook to the spinner is to use a sliding coil spring or sleeve which slides on the shaft up to the eye and holds the wire together. See Fig. 68. These coil springs and brass or copper sleeves can be bought in various diameters from the mail-order houses. Still another way to attach a hook to a spinner is to form a permanent closed eye on the end of the wire, then slip on a split ring with a hook, as shown in Fig. 69. These methods of attaching a hook to a spinner are used if you plan to change the hook often. If, however, you want to make a stronger, permanent attachment you merely form an eye on the end of the wire shaft, slip on the treble hook, and then close the eye for good. Figure 68. Using a coil spring or sleeve to close the eye on a shaft. Figure 69. Permanent eye on a spinner shaft. The basic spinner above makes use of a single blade. If you want to add another blade to the shaft, use a slightly longer wire and after slipping on the first blade add a small metal bead which you then solder to the shaft above the first blade. Then slip on a loose bead or two and your second blade before forming the eye at the front of the wire shaft. This is shown in Fig. 70. Figure 70. Spinner with double blade.
