BlueBird Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Hey guys and gals. I have made up a pile of spinner baits, I had a customer tell me I was putting the first blade (one on clevice) on backwards. Said he had to take it off and turn it around cause it would not spin. Any body havbe a photo of the wrong way and one of the proper way to put one of these blades on. I always assumes you would put the blade on with the cup of the blade facing down. But I may have no clue of what I am doing so a phot of one would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brent R Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 the blade on the clevice goes cup side up....in other words the cup should be facing the other blade... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) I think of the blade as a water deflector on the convex (crowned) side, and a water trap on the concave (hollow) side. Like when you put your cupped hand out the window as you're driving. The air goes around the back of your hand but catches the cupped side if you turn it into the wind. I always put the convex side facing forward, so the water goes around it and starts it spinning.

sonoman Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 If it doesn't spin it is backward, I make and use a ton of spinnerbaits , the cup side should face the wire shaft when it is pulled through the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
