Kodiak
So far just bank-fishing the Sandy and Clack, but I could see myself trying out the coastal streams as well. I'm very much a beginner with one springer under my belt. I'm still building my basic tool set for it, and it's missing any spinners.
Flame red, pink, candy pink, green, candy flame. Those seem to be the key colors for almost all the willamette trib fish, and work on the sandy too.
Kodiak I would surely buy a few of those # 8's to try out; if they're as versatile as you describe them, and you're able to fish them effectively from the .5-3 mph I would think that's pretty unique trait which, in addition to the endorsements you've already received from osmo and terry wiest (credible fish killers), makes them worthy of the risk that taking it to production stage entails. You can justify the cost if they consistently outfish your average store-bought spinner by a 2-1 ratio or better (assuming that the person using them knows how/where to fish them). Now would the $8 be for just the blade or an already assembled spinner with the 8blade?
The whole shooting match...single blades would be around 2.75 ea. or so, depending on metal prices.
