What does double show? It it says spades I lead a spade... if it says ♦ I lead a diamond...

Shouldnt show clubs.

Double shows ♣ (yes, I know, not ideal to double splinter for lead.)

I'm mystified. Neither opponent redoubles 4♣ -- nominally denying 1st round control -- yet opener makes a grand slam try of 6♣. Responder skips over 4♦ yet later finds the muscle for 5♦. Does responder's 4♥ just mean a minimum? Or would 4♦ have been the ♦A and 5♦ is the ♦K?

Of course they have their methods but I would like to be at the table to ask what they are. Absent that, I'll guess that opener HAS the ♣A and therefore opener's pass of 4♣x was NOT justified by hoping to hear a redouble. Hence, opener has NOT the ♦A.

Therefore I'll lead ♦Q, either to build a ♦ to cash after winning a ♠ or possibly to cash 2 ♦ before declarer manufactures discards with black winners.

I lead a club as my partner suggested. I would overrule his descission just with a very strong reason. And I do not see a strong reason in my hand.
Without the double I had lead a trump or a club, because my holdings in the other suits look like possible slow tricks as long as I do not touch them.
Kind Regards
