backwoods1975 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 A neighbor is wanting me to make some spinnerbaits for him. One in particular has what appears to have a #5 Indiana blade on it, however seems to be flat (no cup) until you come to the trailing edge. That edge is bent the same way a deep cup Colorado is. This is an old bait he bought from a local tackle maker 20 yrs ago. I am not sure if I can buy these or if I will have to try making them. Any help would be appreciated. I'm just trying to do him a favor not out to make money. Thanks Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glaucus Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 The description sounds like a “Presto” spinner blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 If you can't find what you want try a little solder. That is what I use to make my single spins thumb more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwoods1975 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I am in the process of making a jig to form these blades, easier said than done. Does anyone know how much difference there will be between brass and stainless steel? I have .015" stainless shim stock, Do you think they will function the same as a brass blade?

backwoods1975 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 just looked up the presto blade and that appears to be it, but jannsnetcraft only has 1&2 sizes. The blade I am looking for is comparable to a #5 Indiana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
