I have been building my own spinners for a little over a year and have used mostly smaller size inline setup but recently started making bigger sizes 6 and up but my question is 70% of my casts with the new built spinners the line wraps around the back of the spinner blade is it a balance problem? tungsten too close behind the blade? I build as bead, blade, bead,tungsten, bead,then hook

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?

Hey guys, Last weekend I was going through some of my trolling spinners. My buddy has asked me why I had so many of these "harnesses" as he called them. I told him what they are then showed him how to make them. After getting a bunch more questions he asked me to create a basic video to use. I've been building variations of these spinners, strip-ons, and live bait harnesses for years. They work wonders covering lots of water to find active fish. Last summer I had caught walleye, perch, pike, musky, bullheads, different panfish species. I want to see what you guys think about it. Thanks for your time, Scott

Made some more of this style last week , also with brass heads and homemade blades . The blades are of a narrower type this time , therefore I made the brass heads a bit shorter , as more slender blades do not provide as much lift to a spinner. Sadly I've already lost the bottom one to a snag yesterday , ...but I'm gonna make more for coming weekend again , as these lures do really perform well . Greetz , diemai -
I am painting # 5 and # 6 Colorado spinner blades (chrome, copper,brass). I wipe them down before I spray. I'm using createx paint. I use the createx white for a base layer and use a variety of other colors as well. I'm top coating with krylon Clear coat . Some times the paint will wrinkle after I use the clear coat , other times it does not. I'm thinking this white is not playing nice with the others. Eventually I'm going to be spray coating with Component system seal coat. I have played around with the self etching primer the same fail when I use the white. Frustrated , disappointed and irritated if thats all possible . Any help? I've read about every forum that exists and short of lighting the whole batch on fire ,here i sit!

Put these together this morning , tested them in the tub tonite , .......all working fine , still spinning on the drop and the brass weight also does not get to spin , even tough it's only 8mm in diameter , thus I could not assemble the front wireform too much off-centered , there fore not much of a keelweight function evolved , .......but obviously still enough ! These blades are about the smallest I can still beat to their cupped shape with a ballpeen hammer , though it still comes somewhat finacky , .....not much material left to hold them whilst working . Gonna find out about the fish's opinion by coming weekend , .........greetz , diemai -
A size comparision of my initial model and one of the smaller spinners I made this morning , ....brass weight is 8mm in dia , ....12mm dia. on the bigger one . Greetz , diemai -
The brass drum weight has a bore 1,5mm dia. running thru , ....the 4,0mm countersunk is just deep enough to accommodate the wire eye of the forward wire shaft , wrapped around a 1,5mm drill bit clamped in a vise . Unlike American weight-forward spinners in Europe we are used to utilize two interconnected wire shafts for such lures , ...but their swing against one another should be somewhat limited , so that the hook could never reach the attached line whilst casting just to foul up . I decided to make the interconnecting eyes that small to be able to place the shafts as far towards the rim of the brass weight as possible , so that the centrifugal force of the spinning blade would not get the entire lure to spin and thus cause line twist , .......indeed the brass head only cants slightly this way , ......even at faster paces of retrieve . -
To fix and position the front wire shaft reliably to the brass weight I've furnished a little groove with my "Dremel" cutting wheel and extended it lengthwise a bit with a small 1,5mm router bit . The shorter tag end of the front shaft's open wire loop is bent and pulled back into that groove(after having connected the rear spinner shaft)with pliers , snipped off and ground flush to the brass drum's circumferrence . -
