Griffond Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 If you can't find them make them and if you can't cut them out your self buy bigger smooth colorado spinner blades and use snips or saw dremel what ever to get them how you want them... you wouldn't have to pin it or screw it to the face of the lure you could slot it in I think dieter might have made some of these lures in his videos not sure thou... the only caution I can say is if you use a spinner blade it may rust on you some day... the other option would be to use brass which is easy to cut and can be had at most local hardware stores.

Nathan Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Gene (Lincoya) used small spinner blades for some pumpkin seeds he was making..They looked and worked great!...Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clemmy Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 I think I would go with a indiana or colorado blade put into a slot. That said, Dick Moore has a stainless lip that would be close. On page 24 of his catalog, lip "g". You would have to bend it over a dowel a bit, then snip the back third in half, so you could bend each side up the lure like an original vamp. Do a search for Moores Lures and you'll find his pdf catalog Clemmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffond Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 yeah I would go the colorado blade route... or perhaps salty might have something like that laying around he has jitterbug type lips perhaps he can make some of the ones your looking for up for ya I don't know.

robalo01 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 There are so many CNC shops out there making aluminum molds for worm pourers, you would think one of them would offer punch and dies for aluminum lips and hardware. I know there it's not the same thing, but a lot of those guys make there own tools. You would think they would the capability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffond Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Thats so funny you say that rob I was thinking the same thing reading this thread... a person running a cnc shop could make some good money selling punch sets for cutting aluminum lips and and what not...
