I must be doing something wrong because I tried that with an actual EWG hook. Turned that piece into 3 baits.

Here is a pic of what I think you are looking for -the Strike King Spin Dance Short Arm. There may have different models and the one with the weed guard was called the 'Drop Model'. They also had a similar bait (or just a renamed version) called The Short Arm Spinnerbait. Those baits were around in the 1990s. There is also the Jig-N-Spin which is a jig with a blade on a flexible wire. Retrobassin has a video on the 1991 Bass Pro Shops master catalog. The Short Arm Spinner bait can be see from 6:29 to 7:29 at the bottom right corner of the left page. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ilucla7gwBs Unfortunately, I threw out my old catalogs a while back. I hope this helps. Jim

Here are some of my old rattle cans paintjobs. I think I might need to go back, I suck at airbrushing

I get that! I bet we could do some really good work, it's just a matter of time and priorities. The small crank is the lure I tried the wash technique on, and the bass is a 7" glide bait I made a couple years ago and is all hand painted.

Sharpies, if used correctly, can be very effective. I have used them for small detail On some baits and it’s you can’t even tell.
