Thinman13 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Has anyone in this forum ever tried to replicate an old vintage spinnerbait called the limberneck spinnerbait? I have 2 of them from yrs ago and I have caught some nice fish on them. Luhr Jenson made them and walmart used to sell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallmouthaholic Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) I made them 25 years ago.-sold them for $5.00 each.Today they would be a $7-$8 bait . The flexible arm has many advantages over fixed wire formed spinner baits. i made modifications to the originals design that Limerneck used. That said, they are very time consuming and expensive to make properly w/ durability in mind. The juction of the flexible cable exiting the sleeve in front is the weakest point of the bait.If i get a chance,I'll take some pics of them and post. Edited for additional content.

Thinman13 Posted January 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Hmm, that is awesome. Yea I was going thru all of mine and was like I should try and replicate this spinnerbait. I like the flex arm design because u can bring it to the surface and the let it fall and wham they get it everytime. I used to use it like a topwater too and let the blade just break the surface and then let it fall, that flex arm really gives it a good action. It looked like a simple design to make but wasn't for sure of how long and expensive it would be. Good info to know. Thanks, B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
