Looking for smaller siwash hooks in lieu of trebles
I'm looking for a source for siwash hooks I can use when I make my own inline spinners. I'm mainly creating lures very similar to #6, #9, and #15 panther martins (1/4 to 1/2 oz.) Any size or style of hook recommendations would be appreciated. I know gamakatsu makes a salt water looking one as I have some, but was wondering if there's any around in a black nickel finish? Also looking to tie a bucktail or hackle to the hook if that will be possible.

Re: Looking for smaller siwash hooks in lieu of trebles
You don't need siwash hooks. You can use hooks intended as replacement hooks for spoons or plugs, which have very large eyes. For spinners, you can use either the spoon hooks (horizontal eye) or the plug hooks (vertical eye). What size hook are you looking for? I know that both are available down to a size 12.
