yes, you are correct about the wire! And thanks for the 4mm conversion. Math was my worst subject in school. And Barlows is too expensive for those LOL! Im going to get a thousand from Hagens. Unless anyone knows better!

Where can I score some solid metal nickel beads in bulk? What size in MM compares to the 5/32 Barlows sells? The wire for my spinnerbaits is .35 Thanks Gentlemen!

I did inspect them and yes did find some hollow metal beads with a little extra on them.

For a 3/8 ounce spinnerbait, what size Colorado blades would you recommend for a tandem setup. I am thinking 3 for the front and 5 for the rear? Thanks!

Yes, too many variables! After this post though i started to think..Does it really matter if the small front blade spins around the wire? Is wobbling back and forth good enough? Not that the extra one second to bend the wire a little more is too time consuming. It's not like I am doing it for money anyway, I'm just giving them away as a promotion. I did sharpen the angle of the blade.

Issue resolved! Now the front blade spins around the wire. The issue was the arm was too high (Straight like a 45 degree angle). Bending it down a little allowed the blade to climb up the wire upon retrieve. Thanks for the info!

Yup the curve part is facing the head. I made sure of that. I will post some pics tonight. This is what it looks like with one more ball in the middle of the metal spacer. This is a picture I swiped off the net, not mine.

Hi, Here is my dilemma. I am building some spinnerbaits, 3/8 ounce. Blades are premium willow from Barlows, so are the hollow metal beads, clevices and what not. The blade size is 4.5 rear and 3.5 front. the 3.5 front does not spin around the balde, it wobbles. The setup bottom to top is: Ball>Clevice with 3.5 blade>Ball>metal tube spacer>ball>metal tube spacer>ball> swivel and 4.5 blade. Do you think it is the blade itself?

I want to buy a bunch of skirts from fishingskirts.com but I want to take advantage of the Bulk buy. Anyone have any interest in splitting a huge order? We can split the order 50/50 plus $2.50 each to send the order to one another. PM me for more details. I'm looking to get all the flavors in living image but don't need 100 of each from the start. Wish I did, but I dont. LOL!

I sen some companies selling stick baits for $10 for 50 of them...It's obvious these guys are not hand puring them. Anyone know the company that sells stick baits wholesale like that?

Anyone?

Looking for a source for painted double buzzbait heads. Stamina is no longer selling them (the king kind).

That looks like its a Bobs mold? Sharp looking frogs!

Awesome! Love the color of the frog and the picture!

No problem at all, but how much sotener do you want them. Are you using dels standard recipe....I am. Everyone I let try said the ripped too easy. sometimes coming off with the cast. Others who wacky rigged with an o-ring loved them.
