Looking for someone that would be willing to sell wood blanks for surf fishing. If anyone knows anyone or can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. Best,

Hello, I'm trying to start building my own inline spinners. I've tried the old Cabela's kit a couple years ago. But that didn't come with size information. It was fine for trying it out. I would like to make spinners for Trout, Bass, Panfish, etc. I know what parts I need. I'm just having trouble figuring out the component (blades/clevis/hooks/beads-) sizes. Is there any guide that all the biggies (Jann's Netcraft / Hagen's / Lurepartsonline / Barlows-) follow? Are all the components the same size from each seller, or are there variations? IE: Size 4 at Janns is Size 4 at Hagens & LurePartsOnline. But is a Size 3 at Barlows. Does anyone have a general size guide for each seller?

The plastic holders on the end of small cigars make great and durable popper bodies. I don't smoke, so I pick mine up on the local golf course. For some reason, they accumulate on the tees. Just run a hook (dressed if you like) through it and use epoxy it. Or you can through wire ir with a free swinging dressed hook for added attraction. Use craft foam to stuff it and epoxy thickened with micro-balloons to seal it fore and aft. The popper body has a semi soft feel to it. By cutting the head at different angles you can make them dive or skitter. A small lip can also be added. The tail also can be trimmed to a slope, cut short, or left as is. Mask off the feathers and paint however you want. Enjoy! PS I learned through experience that the hook on the pink one is a little to small. Still a lot of fun though!
