[Wire bender]

This year I used for the first time some of the new Dakota blades for making a small pan fish inline spinner with excellent results. I used the 1" Dakota to replace the #1 Willow leaf that I had been using.
They spin much easier at slower speeds than the willow did.
My best test was fishing in a small bay on a chain of lakes in northern Wisconsin in late Sept. In a little over 30 minutes I landed and released a dozen good sized perch. The fellow fishing on a dock next to me in the same time landed 2.
Sorry I don't have the capablity to add a photo. It's basically the blade and a few beads and a # 4 hook. Then add a minnow or piece of worm. Works very well even when fished under a bobber.
I know a few others are now using them too and just wanted to add my 2 cents worth.
Now planning on making a larger inline spinner with Dakota blades to test next year.
