Want to learn Electronics fast and easy, Try Electronic Kits International Inc 178 south State Street, Orem UT 84058-54420. 800-453-1708 and the Fax 801 224 5880. Its a lab kit $24.00 part #1101 complete lab. I was an Electronics Instructor for over Ten years at the public school level, this is how I started my students out. A 555 timer circuit with two leds at the outputs could be used for the blinking eyes, change the RC time constant and they would blink faster or slower so you could adjust the frequency. The hard part would be to make a water proof storage and be able to replace the battery half way through the season.

I just wanted to add a fiew things I thought might be helpful. 1st of all Tr186 had some Great Advise. When I assemble, I like to use a closed eye spinnerbait shaft. I am up in the UP and most lakes have pike. I don't use a steel leader because most bass won't bite. So my compermise is to use a good sampo swivel on the line. An open eye or R bend shaft will let the swivel slide one way or the other and the lure will come in sideways. You can slide a piece of plastic tubing over the R bend to prevent this but if your makeing your own, why not use a closed eye in the first place. When assembling, the first bead is to prevent the clevis from jaming up during the cast. After the clevis, I found that three beads before the bend worked best. However this effects how your lure will react. One or two beads can make the clevis wip from side to side and three will help it to rotate 360 degrees around the shaft. Also the blade size in the clevis will effect how it acts in the water. I hope this was helpful.

I get mine from St George Glass in Iron Mountain 906 774 9243. They have a bin of small pieces they cut off larger sheets. Perfect for what we are doing.

THANK YOU AGAIN! Howard Capone

Thank you and this is what I came up with. http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t15/howardcapone/FishingLures002-1.jpg Howard Capone

Thank you microtek60 but what is to full? dampeoples, what do you mean by big or small profile?

In a world were bigger is better:worship:, and more is better:lolhuh:How thick should you make the skirt on a spinner bait? How many strands?

I use Food Grade Silicone #8036 made by crown. Spray the mold and let sit for 3-5 minutes and this will last for 8 to 10 castings.

Up North we have dark water (iron ore) so white, chartreuse, chartreuse on top with white on the bottom. you can also try chartreuse and some red through the middle. Howard Capone
