The wires .051 inch stainless. Body beads are powder painted 3/8oz solid marine brass. Transparent powder colors (red, blue, purple, green) uses nickel plated brass for extra luster.
The blades on these, are heavy .032 gauge #8 French blades. I've got .040 gauge #8 Smooth Colorado's and fluted #8 Indiana's ordered - Gold and Nickel mirror finish. Finishes like Nickel and Gold are added for scratch and tarnish resistance and reflection.
Heavy gauge brass is soft. Most smaller blades are stamped from .018 gauge marine brass. When you package these big brass blades in the hundreds or thousands, they collide and scratch each other during shipping and storage. Polished brass doesn't fare as well as the finished blades.
These heavy blades really move some water. If you fish them with your rod tip up, the rotation raises the surface leaving a wake trail. The surface disturbance will help large predatory fish take notice. No fishing in wake free area's, lol.
