I had never seen one until I joined this forum, does anyone know kinda what size beads and blades to use? Barlows is the only place where I can find a blade that says "swiss"
thanks

Is it a special type blade?

I googled it up. It's an in-line spinner bait whose body is made up of 5 beads. small, medium, large, medium, small. The spinner blade is a willow blade attached via a clevis between the tie-on loop and the first small bead. The examples I seen showed a plain, non-dressed treble hook, Though I imagine you could use one.
This sounds very close to a wedding ring spinner configuration.
Close but not quite...The wedding ring spinner has a ring in between two matching large size beads in the middle, where this one has no ring and a single large bead in the middle.
I use a folded clevis on this type spinner - I'd use three wraps of wire to attach the treble hook. I have some of the original Swiss Swing blades

Nice blades,,interesting designs
I knew that you’d straighten us out Doug. The two blades on the right are a new to me style, interesting. I’ve found out how weedless a single hook can be on some of the rooster tails I’ve been using. I fish some trashy places and I get the single hook versions back a lot more than the trebles. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Skeet - Glad I could help. The only other blade if I couldn't get Swiss Swings are the plain Swing style or a Ripple blade. The two blades on the right are called Roto Blades and I had never seen them before. I got a hugh lot of older spinner blades from an ebay auction.
