ROWINGADUBAY Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 I have a problem with my inline spinners: the wire spins with the blade Causing line twist I use a half ounce egg sinker under the skirt . I was wondering if anybody bends a 1/4"---1/2" step between the skirt and the body to eliminate the twist? Or does any one have a different fix for this problem?

smalljaw Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 I don't make in-line spinners but I fish them for trout and I always use a swivel because of it. I may be wrong but I don't think you can eliminate that, all of the spinners I've fishe had that same problem and it seems like the heavier the lure the more the wire spins with the blade.

diemai Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) @ paintsniffer All inlines do cause line twist more or less , only a swivel ahead of the lure does'nt eliminate , but only minors the problem ,......here are a few different options to overcome the troubles : - switch a clear plastic anti-kink-vane between toothproof leader and mainline , for smaller lures 1" X 1 1/2" should be enough , increase dimensions for bigger spinners ,........but keep as small as possible , hence this device always minors the casting distance a bit . - bend the spinners tow eye a bit offset to the center wire shank , ........either the eye only on small bladed lures or also a portion of the shank under the eye as well on bigger bladed ones(more circular force generated by the blade) . - if tying spinners straigt onto mainline without any leader , leave a tag end of approx. 1" to 2" on the knot and crimb a lead shot of sufficient size onto that piece of line , that one should also hinder the entire inline to spin ,.........make sure , that the rig is long enough to work out , but also short enough not to hinder the blade from spinning . - for greater depths use(or build) weight-forward spinners with a sufficiently offset and balanced weight matching the blade size and it's circular force , ....not all commercial ones do assure that(best one IMO is the Swedish "M Edited June 21, 2009 by diemai text addition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
