Chucktown Redfisher Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 I am looking for heads that go on an in-line spinner like this. https://www.panthermartin.com/Lures/saltwater-freshwater/HulaRunner https://www.fishusa.com/product/Blue-Fox-Flash-Spinners I was not able to find anything on Barlows for Janns but may have missed it. Also I have not found any other websites for spinnerbait parts. Help appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLS Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Are you needing just a few for yourself or are you trying to retail them? If you are after a bunch of heads, Cast Industries is a good place to have them built. If you're just after a few, I could probably hook you up with some.

Chucktown Redfisher Posted January 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 I was looking for some for myself. If I cannot find any I will take you up on that offer. The real reason I want the heads is because I want to be able to put a large eye on them. Sea trout really key on that eye for some reason. Any other ideas on how to get an eye on an inline spinner?

aulrich Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Could tail spinners https://store.do-itmolds.com/Tail-Spinner-LurebrSz-12-58-34-78brHk-3551-or-7790XbrCollar-NA_p_1023.html or an under spinner jig work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLS Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I used an Ultra Minnow jig mold to step up the look of my inlines, several years ago. I believe the mold I used covered sizes from 1/4 to 5/8. I filed a groove for a pull pin and used an .051 buzz bait wire as a pin. When I started my lure company I wanted a head that would use larger eyes so I had heads designed for me. I only have them in 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 ounce. The 1/4 and 3/8 take a size 3 eye and the 1/2 takes a size 3.5. If you decide you're interested in seeing them, message me a number and I'll text some pics. I'll be at an expo all next week, without my computer, so I might be a little slow to respond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucktown Redfisher Posted January 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I would really like 1/8. I have tried using a bullet sinker and squishing it with a bench vice and that actually works surprisingly well but doesn't have the "finished" look you'd see on a store bought lure.

Hillbilly voodoo Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 When it comes down to it you can always result to making your own mold and pour them Sometimes it’s the only way to make the lure in your head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gas pumper, Do you make these? How difficult would it be to make them so that they could slide onto an in-line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MT204 Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Just happen to have a Diner Shiner in my pocket with no hook. Had a friend wondering the same thing so cast one without hook. Depending on how many you need just drill a hole threw the center. Could even make a drilling jig if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I go about getting some of these? Can I order heads without hooks from Barlows/Janns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimpNoodle Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Nope. You can order the mold and cast them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I do not pour these,but you can order the mold as suggested and pour your own ,just get a piece of stainless steel the diameter you need and lay across the mold close mold and tap lightly with a rubber mallet to make indent in mold.
