diemai 234 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Did you try it out already ? Can't imagine , that the willowleaf would spin that way , since these spin quite close to the shaft and the white body portion seems to stand in its way to move freely . Been there , done that , ......I ever had problems with them willowleaf blades:yes: ! Probably for such spinner construction a junebug blade would be better , but these only come in quite small sizes:? . greetz:yay: , diemai Quote Link to comment
NoiseyCricket 0 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Hi diemai, thanks for your input. It spins great in the water, even at really slow speed. The front blade spins freely and isnt restricted by the body. The clevis holding the blade and the body is almost at the same level and the body got a radius in the front that gives the blade the angle it needs to spin freely. What I like the most is that the head wiggle from side to side, in a very xxx-y way Quote Link to comment
now thats a fish 10 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Very clean and simple design!! No fuss w/ paint or tying hair?? Hmm Quote Link to comment
diemai 234 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share @ NoiseyCricket Glad to hear , that I was wrong about my concerns.......and I apologize:yes: . Had too much trouble before about such blades not spinning:pissed: ! Your design makes up for a nice , unusual lure ,... with it's big eye and spinning blades it would surely look like a small minnow in the water:yes: ! greetz:yay: , diemai Quote Link to comment
ebby 10 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share i like it! what are the head and body made out of? Quote Link to comment
NoiseyCricket 0 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share No problem diemai Awsome spoons and Asp-baits in your gallery. Will hopefully have time to get some Asp this year, powerful fish. Eric, sometimes less is more The fun is... beeing creative. I simply enjoy playing around with new designs, materials and manufacturing techniques. If a bait have paint or not isnt any issue for me (I probably paint too much anyway). The rear blade is attached with a clevis and spins fine in the water. I always use try and error... either it works ok or not. As simple as that. Quote Link to comment

LooksLikeSinbad 10 Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share This is really cool. Have you tried it for bass? Seems like it would work, maybe a smaller size? Quote Link to comment

NoiseyCricket 0 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Thanks Looks like Sinbad! Here in Sweden/Scandinavia we dont have bass but I plan on making a similar design for Perch. I made a smaller one yesterday with only one blade in the front and dressed hook at the back, which I played around with for a couple of hours in the water, spinned like crazy. The next batch of heads and bodies will look slightly diffrent, am working on a couple of new designs at the moment. Very funny to experiment with spinners since I mostly make 3-4oz jerkbaits for Pikes and muskies. This is like a new world to me ...and new borders to break Quote Link to comment
