Hi, new to this and I'm struggling to find the right answers. I'm looking to find what size spinner blade to use, what size spoon, what diameter stainless wire to use and what size trebles to hang on them.

Could someone please point me in the right direction?

You are talking about the English perch / redfin? Whenever I chase them down Victoria way I use the trout spinners. Check out those for your sizes as a start then for your bigger fish, just go up a size or two.

Not very good with the phone and where I am, the internet for the PCs is very dodgy ( can take me up to 20 minutes at times to post a photo using the laptop ). But check out the Mepps in line trout spinners for a start.

Hi Laurence 
In Denmark we offend use Mepps size 2 ore 3 on Perch in Streams. I teach make them in my fishing club, using 0.8mm Stainlless  wire and size 6 to 8 Hooks. we use Spoons up to about 60mm. 
But i also catch a lot off Perch on Wooden Lures in Lakes. Either some I made ore some I got from contacts on this site. Perch are real canibals and eats almost anything. I have caught Perch were the Lure (Pike Lures) is bigger than the Fish Shocked
You have a place in UK where thy sell spinner parts http://spintec.co.uk/
