[cool][#0000ff]I haven't been able to find small spoon blanks either. I used to use some Little Cleos and other spoons that were quite small and worked well. I would like to be able to make some too, but have not been successful in finding blanks. Also tough to find brass finish blanks.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I'll tell you though, that the roadrunner (pony jig) heads, with a spinner blade, make an acceptable substitute. I dress them with various jig materials or even fish them "naked", as in the accompanying pic of the tiger with the plain RR jighead.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I probably catch over half of the fish I catch on roadrunner jigs of different sizes and colors. I cast and retrieve them, bottom bounce them and vertical jig them. They work great under the ice.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]You should look at getting a jig mold for those and adding them to your arsenal.[/#0000ff]
