Buy one and reverse engineer it. Barry's Baits has a good selection of parts.

I have been making my own for years and it doesnt really matter that much to match them up exactly,just eye it and use common sense.

# 4 blade with # 2 open eye hook... if that helps.
Basically, make sure there is enough hook set on the hook without the blade blocking it.
