You can use 0.022 trolling wire and it is easy to bend but holds it's shape well. I look forward to seeing what you're tying up.
I've made up a few fly rod spinnerbaits like those tied by Tom Nixon. They make a heck of a noise going by your head. Here's a link to a video on tying them.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBddr...1453D&index=15
