Groucho Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 I'm having difficulty finding out the correct spinnerbaits sizes for clevises, beads, spacers and slit rings. I am going to use .035 super ss wire forms. I believe #2 swivel is correct and 1/8 bead but don,t have a clue for slit rings and clevises. Would appreciate some help.

Basseducer Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 For most applications I use a #3 clevis and if you are getting Worth swivels and split rings separately, they recommend the 2 1/2 Nickeled Steel #92513. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Glenn Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Lure parts on line list the needed components to build different size spinner baits. They recommend 3/8 or 1/2 oz size for the size wire you mentioned. # 7 crane swivel, #2 ball bearing swivel, #5 Colorado blade, # 4 1/2 willow leaf blade, #3 stirrup clevis, 5/32 metal beads, #2 or 3 shaft blade colorado, #3 or 3 1/2 willow leaf shaft blade. Mix and match as you see fit. Good luck. This was from their 2014 cat. as I didn't look long enough to find their current cat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 All one needs to do is google "spinnerbait component sizing chart" or "spinnerbait parts sizing chart" or anything similar and you will find a bunch. Unfortunately a lot will be different because we all like our spinnerbaits to run differently. The size of the clevis is dependent on your wire size, .035 I like using a size 3, a size 2 I only use for .032" wire on 1/4oz spinnerbaits and if I use .035 wire I use the 3 on those as well. The beads would be the same thing, 5/32 for 1/4oz to 3/4oz. Split rings aren't a concern, I use Worth swivels and they have their own split ring that comes with them and most swivels will come with split rings so I don't even worry about those. If you are making safety pin type spinnerbaits, use the stirrup clevis, the folded works but it much better suited to in-lines and on regular fishing line. You didn't ask but I assume you know what size blades you want to run, I tend to go 1 size under most charts but there are a few that are similar to my sizing but for me the sizes I use come from experience, I like to reel my spinnerbaits fast so smaller blades than normal help keep the bait from leaning to one side or the other. Good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
