I made a 7 inch, thru-wired one a couple years back. Double chopper blades on the back. I'll try and take a photo this evening. I used 1/16 inch spring wire instead of the usual 308 or 316L stuff. Its the same stuff they use for Musky spinners. A bear to twist! It sits partially tail down in the water. You want a shot of lead in the belly between the hook and the tail. The lead helps keep it in the water right when ripping. Without lead they'll have a tendancy to roll. You can hear them coming well over 100 feet away
