Large diameter wire or mono exceeds most storebought clevis sizes. the hole cant be made much larger ad the hole in the blade wont accept it unless enlarged to a huge size. So here of what I started using a while back.

Its stainless spinner wire but these dont seem to stay on very well? head shaking or ? I,ve tried to use larger wire butt its very difficult to form with my simple tools. So below is an improved version that should last a long time.

The wire is 14 ga copper solid common house hold stuff and with a flux soldered ok. A drill bit was used to clean the inner bore.

These large spinner blades are 2.5-3.5 inches in length and really vibrate when the current is running. Crazy, huh? ???
Great idea!
I like--gotta try it. I make some spinners & the clevis is always a sore point. Occasionally use a June Bug-type blade that doesn't need a clevis to get around it.
