diemai Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Hi , folks , Not much around in this wire bait forum , as my focus has been on hardbaits for many years , nevertheless I'm still doing spinners or spoons now and then , .....these are the kind of lures that I started out with more than 20 years ago . Tested a bunch of homemade spinners and put them on film two days ago , .......just thinking to share that video in here , probably I could provide some info to fellow luremakers around here . Off course I would gladly answer any possible questions , ......greetz , diemai PS : By now I have tinkered on the red feathered spinner , cut it apart and made the attachement hole of the blalde larger , so that it cannot bind with the shaft anymore , ....should be OK now !

smalljaw Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Really good stuff Diemai, those are all impressive and while the red one had some binding issues , you already figured it out and it is an easy fix. I have to tell you that watching those feathered spinners come through the water I was waiting for a giant pike to come up and grab it. I know you say they don't look good but I bet the Musky anglers here would pay a good bit of money for those, huge feathered baits are supposed to look like that and homemade blades too, you really are talented!!!!

diemai Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Thanks a lot , folks ! Was not the weather that day for a fish to follow , it's kinda slow during these late summer days , waiting for fall season to start . In a YouTube comment by a German friend I was advised to tie those feather to a weight-forward spinner as well , .....the feathers would even move and ondulate more attractively , when such spinner is constantly dropping and rising up on it's course again , ......surely this is gonna be one of my future projects , still have enough leadheads left , anyway , ...gotta make some more blades , though . Thanks again for your interest , ....greetz , Dieter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
