Need A Little Help With Inline Spinners

[jsanders]

I just got finished tying on bucktails on the back of my spinners and see there will be problems with the clevis turning thus causing line twist. This is what I'm thinking of doing but want to know if there is a better way to do it.

wire with loop, small bead, body, large bead, spinner on clevis, small bead at tie off point. Right now I don't have any small beads on there.

What do y'all think about using split rings on the back for the hooks? Any cons there? It would be easier to tie on bucktails without the hook in the way.

Thanks

Split ring will work . So will an open eye treble . Just crimp it shut .

any chance you could throw a picture up of what your working with?

I will do my best but don't get your hopes up. I'm not real bright...

I use the loops, but use them as the tie up instead of hook end.

I do factory loop eye, metal bead, clevis with #6 blade upside down, metal bead, 3- 6mm plastic beads, 1/2oz lure body, 1 more 6mm bead, then loop and 3 twists to finish it up. When flipped over it is a completed spinner. I use a SS split ring on the end that I looped, then a #1/0 dressed treble.

that's where I messed up. I didn't put a bead next to the loops. What I'm doing now is a tie on loop, bead, clevis with spinner, bead, 1/2 oz body, bead, loop and dressed treble. I'm going to try your way too. I think using split rings on the hook will keep it from fouling up.
