Those "wedding ring" bands are called "rondelle beads".

Depending on where you look (jewelry and craft stores), they cost anywhere from 20 cents to 1 dollar each. There's a couple bead sellers on Ebay that sell them in bulk of 100 beads, for around 10 bucks plus shipping.

I haven't made them into jigs like in the pic, but it's pretty easy to make your own wedding ring spinners.

She must have had small fingers! LOL

Seriously, it's a cool idea. Have you tried it out on panfish?

I do like those. On a jig head, tipped with a maggot. Ill bet they will kill crappie and other pan fish.

But like Shad said you can always tie a new wedding ring up. It was mentioned how hard they are to store (and they are) but just cut off the hook, throw away the line and put the beads, blades, clevises and hooks in a pill bottle and just throw everything on a piece of line next time you need a wedding ring.

The leader that Macks (and other brands wedding rings) is way to heavy. I would say its between 10lb and 14lb test and probably not the best quality line. I like 4lb test (avoid fluoro. too many line twist) and 6 or 8lb test for double whammys.
