    to blades ? I mean, do you use Indiana, Colorado or willow ? Gotta order some more and I have never used the Indiana style and was thinking about trying some. Also, if I remember right it is the sz 10 barrel swivel that suppose to use on these, is that right ?

    Thanks and I pray you all have a Safe & Happy Thanksgiving

    Think your mold calls for a #12 crane. I buy my stuff from Netcraft. I have been using a #10 roller swivel the sell. Little tight on the eye that goes in mold but I like it better. I use all three mostly in #1 but going to order some #0 blades next time. I feel water clarity and light penetration play a big part in blade type and color. More flash,less flash thump verses less.

    I use #12 crane swivels from Grandpa Bob's. I also like the #1 willow leaf brass blades.

    I got a mold now that takes a #14, #12 is a bit tight in the mold but it will work. Waiting on more swivels to come in. Waiting on orders to come in of Indiana, Colorado, French and Willow blades. Sizes 00, 0, 1, 2 and 3 nickel and brass.

    Do-It recommends a #12 crane swivel in their pony head molds but I've noticed that all brands are not sized exactly the same. The 12s I get from Grandpa Bob's work great.
