  1. The brass drum weight has a bore 1,5mm dia. running thru , ....the 4,0mm countersunk is just deep enough to accommodate the wire eye of the forward wire shaft , wrapped around a 1,5mm drill bit clamped in a vise . Unlike American weight-forward spinners in Europe we are used to utilize two interconnected wire shafts for such lures , ...but their swing against one another should be somewhat limited , so that the hook could never reach the attached line whilst casting just to foul up . I decided to make the interconnecting eyes that small to be able to place the shafts as far towards the rim of the brass weight as possible , so that the centrifugal force of the spinning blade would not get the entire lure to spin and thus cause line twist , .......indeed the brass head only cants slightly this way , ......even at faster paces of retrieve .
  2. To fix and position the front wire shaft reliably to the brass weight I've furnished a little groove with my "Dremel" cutting wheel and extended it lengthwise a bit with a small 1,5mm router bit . The shorter tag end of the front shaft's open wire loop is bent and pulled back into that groove(after having connected the rear spinner shaft)with pliers , snipped off and ground flush to the brass drum's circumferrence .
