    Make your own. You’ll need some swivels, line and hooks.

    I use a #6 hook and 6 lb. mono or flouro.

    #2,4,6,8,1/0 hooks. Plain/nickel colored or red, some luck on chart. Had good luck with the VMC double barbs for keeping lively minnows on.

    4#,6#,8# sufix siege mono(similar to XT) I prefer it for its suppleness. IMO mono is better for lindys than flouro, lets bait swim more freely, especially with crawlers/leeches and more importantly doesn’t sink like flouro. Save the flouro for spinner rigs.

    1/8,1/4,1/2,3/4 lindy weights. IMO uncolored is better.

    Red, glow, chart. beads, few sizes don’t get to crazy. I usually fish without but sometimes it makes a difference.

    Snap swivels/barrel swivels, whatever’s on sale. Tie directly to snap/swivel, don’t pretie with a loop knot, or take pre rigged, cut the knot and tie, sensitivity makes a difference and personally haven’t had luck with loop knots.

    At least enough beads to keep the height of the blade off the hook and bait below. But make your own for sure, it’s a fun hobby, makes it cheaper and is more rewarding!
