The propeller is touchy. Regular round bead impedes the spin (pictured). I switched to an oval shaped bead and spin city (not pictured). That also made it a lot easier to tie chenille because no worries with crowding bead.

I plan to order smaller drop shot swivels for my tail spinners. Afraid to try smaller split rings- LOL.

Getting better at the eyes. Now I brush polish into cavity, let dry, then dob in the pupil using end of stick dipped. Kind of punching it on.

Can’t wait to take these babies for a spin.
