    Swivels

    IMHO the main parameter of swivel (after strength) it is torque moment - minimal effort cause rotating. It is depending from friction provided by design and technology.
  2. Good idea! Interesting: how it will work with French blade? What kind of jig head you are using? Usually head attaching to line on the top of the head. How do you connect head to wire? Is it ridged connection? Thank you

    Inline Spinners

    Good enough and not so expensive
  4. Looks gorges ! For me. Now main question: how it is attractive for fish in the field test.
  5. From my experience vast majority of salmon and steelhead fisherman using in-line spinners with clevises - not PM. Basically it is Mepps flying "C" and Blue Fox.

    More Weight-Forward Spinners

    Spinners very interesting. I am surprised why weight- forward sinners don't using wide. Great idea, lot of advantages but never have seen them in the stores. May be they not so prodactive vs. regular? What results of yours testing?
  7. Thank you again! I completely got the idea. I have not too much experience in the working with lead and molds – only made big size sinkers. Could small size of inlets (diameter 1/4", length 1.5-2") create problems? I mean that lead could harden before penetrating all way down and clogged the inlet? May be has a sense to create channels from top to sides and made double sinkers?
  8. Thank you, Ben! I’ve got it. So I have to pour the lead from the top through narrow space near central wire and retain that wire by pliers to prevent it’s shifting. Mold has been somehow heated to prevent clogging of inlet when I start pouring. I’m right?
  9. Thank you Ben! If I understand right, the drilled pieces of angle iron should be placed on the sides of mold. Right?
  10. Thank you Mark! Looks like it could work. 1” of ¼” diameter lead wire, according my calculation, should weight approximately 0.53 oz and I could adjust the weight by changing length. I've already ordered it. TA Thanks everybody! I've got a lot of useful ideas!
  11. Thank you guys! Probably, I have to do it myself from rubber.
  12. Thank you 21xdc! I probably not correctly asking. I am looking for sinker with shape like a pencil without graphite inside for IN-LINE spinner. Such shape gave me possibility to wrap it by adhesive tape different colors and change tape without destroying a spinner. Couldn't find. TA
  13. I couldn't find cylindrical sinkers with hole through from 1/2 to 7/8 oz. I want to use them for bodies into in-line spinners. Are they existing in the nature? Thank you.
  14. Some people with disability or SSI don't making lures for life - they are selling drugs and "worriers" against "abusing of system" pretending that do not see that because it is dangerous - drug dealers could retaliate. Therefore they are dropping dimes on the poor and defendless - it is much safer but looks disgusting.
  15. Mapps using white matte trebles on their "Flying C" and IMHO it is the best in-line spinners at least on the Sacramento River and Delta.
  16. I like Siwash Gamakatsu. It is not a treble but IMHO has some advantages vs. trebles: Not so heavy, less chances to snag, keep salmon deadly, easy for replacement thanks open eye, not damaging fish severe like treble on case if you decide to release it.
  17. I am préfère brushing or spraying. It is allow me keep back side clear and shiny. Colorful stickers by the way very helpful also. Much less work and usually they stay on the blade until you snag and loose the lure. Fluid bed I'm using for bodies. Good luck!
  18. Nice photos! How you posted them? Thanks
