I thought I would start this thread to give those of use that make our own spinners a place to post pics and talk about how we made them and the fish we caught with them.

This is the first one I ever made.  It is 31/2" long, loop to loop and weighs 7/10 of an ounce.

This is one I made today.  It is 5" long from loop to loop.  I'll post the weight here when I can.  I am using a 4/0 hook...

I hope that those of you that attempt to make these lures will post your pics and tell us a little something about how it was made.

Hey Pete, Youre lookin good there man. Heres a pic of one I built the other day. It,s brass body is 1/3 oz. and has a 3/0 long shank Eagle Claw hook with a Terminator skirt. I am callin her "A different spin on spinners"

Hey Pete, this is the first one I put together after getting the "proper supplies". It has a .08 oz. brass body and a size 4 treble. Loop to loop on this one is 2 inches

Larry, those are lookin' real good, Bro!  Now we need to catch some fish with them!  I hope others will post what they have made...Best of luck!

Wife says, "what are you doing out there in garage?"Husband replies: " Just working on a few lures Dear!"

Here you go,needless to say it's been a long winter season!!

Added  4 BB's for weight and sound.

Ol J.W.

Those are interesting!  Bottle caps I assume?  I wonder how they will work...

I just put this one together last night...

The length is 5" loop to loop.  I am using a 4/0 commercially made bucktail for this since I had it laying around collecting dust!  It weighs about 2 ounces, but I need to put it on a scale to be sure.  The blades are a size 6, colorado style and I am using double over lapping  clevises.

Sorry for the awefull picture quality.

10 1/2 inches in total length, the weight i don't i would guess 2 1/4 oz.

I accidentally posted before i could list the specs.

.051 wire 9 inches loop to loop

2 #9 colorado blades

series of brass bead bodies.

5/0 weedless treble hook

non-camera freindly black marabou tie

1/2 oz egg sinker

2/0 orange/yellow bucktail

Excited to use but i would like a separately tied bucktail and a larger treble off the back.

  Have you had any luck with these? I made a few with the BL lable but no drressing on the hook. I didn't have any luck.

Has anyone else gotten the make your own lures kit from Jann's Netcraft? I put together some spinners using that kit and they work great. Just got back from Lake George up near Lake Champlain and I bagged a bunch of smallmouth and pumpkinseeds on 'em.
