bassinmass Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Hey guys <---new guy here Where do you guys get your spinnerbait heads? I was looking at these: http://www.staminainc.com/bait_heads/king_spinnerbait.html but wanted to know what else is out there. I don't think I want to get into pouring them.. So, do you folks know of any places that sell quality heads? Either that, or maybe some of you make your own and I could set up an order with you after deciding on a design? Quality is a must and money is really no object at this point. I just want quality components for my baits. This is just 'personal use' stuff, so I'm not necessarily looking for someone that can provide huge bulk quantities. Thanks for your time guys. I really appreciate the help bassinmass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markell Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Hey bassinmass, Stamina and Barlows would be a good place to look. You should also buy a few unpainted and a few colors of powder paint. But be very carefull! This can be addictive. I understand what you mean about the quality. Once you start pouring your own heads you have total control over what components you use and what size components are used. If you have any other questions just ask away. Welcome aboard.

bassinmass Posted April 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Thanks Markell I'm having trouble viewing Barlow's website. I'll have to see if it works on my comp at home. I have a handful of those King's from Stamina on the way, but I know you guys have been at this alot longer than me. Thanks again I'm sure I'll have plenty of q's in the future!

basskat Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 There'as several of us on this site who pour spinnerbaits. I'm sure someone would sell you unpainted heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celticav Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 The king spinner heads are way overpriced in my opinion, go for the minno spin or guppy heads if you are getting into just assembling your own baits from painted heads and peices-parts, my two cents...JIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 I run some for people, 18 cents each, powder coated 1 color, .... cheaper than hagens which is the best price I have seen.... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris[/quote'] 18? each? Why does this sound too good to be true? Is there any way you could post a pic or a link to a pic of what I'd be looking at? Thanks bassinmass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigmaster Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Good morning We can pour heads for you, also. Mustad Ultra-point hooks, stainless wires, bullet nose style. Can certainly powder paint them for you too. www.caimonlures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassinmass Posted April 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Jigmaster Nice looking work! Thanks for all the replies, guys. I just got the King heads in the mail last night and I'm more than impressed with them. They are a little on the pricey side, but I'm fine with that for now. If any of you have pics of painted heads (the closer they resemble those Kings the better) I'd love to take a look at them. I appreciate the help bassinmass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celticav Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 I have seen both jigmaster's and C n R's work, these guys are both class acts and trust-worthy...even if jigmaster can't spell his own website, LOL. Hey CnR what kind of hook are you molding on those and what head-style(s) can you pour? JIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topher Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 I have 3 of the do it styles. Bullets -1/8th to 1/2, style C, 1/8 to 1/2, and style H -1/4 to 2 1/2oz. BIG. I can use what ever hooks the customer wants. I have been getting hooks from Hagen's, going to get a mustad account set up in a couple of weeks. Here is a link to see the head styles at do-it. I usually mold with Eagle Claw #255 which is a xlong, forged hook that are reasonably sharp. Oh yeah, I do everything on a twisted eye wire form from Battlefield Wire... even my buzz baits. I have to charge more for those, as the wire is kinda spendy when you get special stuff made. here is the link http://www.do-itmolds.com/products/luremolds_i.php?UID=2004042207085368.190.163.13 Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassinmass Posted April 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Would it be at all possible to get the "R" bend wire?? This is what I'm thinking H style head, 1/2oz and 3/8oz. Mustad ultrapoints. Maybe two colors? Some white and some black? I don't know why, but I like the R bend in the wire better. Am I just stuck in my old habits?? If any of you are interested, please let me know if you'd like to set up a small order at first (maybe 50 or so heads) so I can see what they're like. You can either post here or email me at bassinmass@netzero.net. I really appreciate all the help guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celticav Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 If your going to sell your baits then go for the 1/4 oz and up, 1/4 and 3/8's are about 80% of what my guys want, JIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskat Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Here's the style I pour. These are 3/8 & 1 ounce. I have from 1/4 - 1 ounce in this style head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
