You can buy thin-diameter lightweight spinner blades,
plastic clevises and plastic beads at any lure making
supply shop, like, for instance:
luremaking.com
You can throw a throbbing spinner with any 6,7 or 8
weight rod. They are particularly useful for fishing
during the high, roilly brown-water days of spring runoff
in Montana.
If you fish with a spinning rod you don't need to worry
about keeping the lure so light. Tossing lures with a good
spinning rod, from a moving driftboat on a swollen fast moving,
greenish-brown-colored river, is a blast. But I still prefer
the feel of a flyrod in my hand.
One obvious disadvantage of the spinning rod is the need
to reel the lure all the way back to the rod tip between
each cast--particularly when fishing from a fast-drifting
boat in high water. With a fly rod you can drift the lure
for 20-30' past or through a likely looking eddy or run,
and then pick up up with one backcast, and lay it back
down again. With a spinning rod you have to frantically
reel the lure all the way back to the rod tip before
you can cast again.
