Walking Dead Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 I thought I had one but cannot find it. Does anyone know the wire thickness on the Cassic spinnerbait? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkin Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 I have a few and the digital caliper says. 035. Now everyone says they are lighter but the 5 I have are all the same. On another note you will have to cut down both arms of any frame you buy. I made a couple of them but haven't painted them yet.

Walking Dead Posted November 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 Thanks. I bend mine from straight shafts so i will just draw an outline as a guide. Thanks. also going with some .31 piano wire as testing baits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 I remember Hank Parker saying it was made with .031" wire. If Allen says he measured it to .035" then that is what I would go with. You'll still get plenty of vibration of it since it uses a #7 Indiana and a #3 Colorado. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tally Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 That spinnerbait in Hank Parker's video looks like the one Blades was making. I know Blades and Parker are friends and have fished together and Blades was looking for him to endorse that spinnerbait. Maybe Blades will see this and chime in. As far as the "classic", I think that wire was an .028. I make a spinnerbait on .028 and the vibration is incredible and it is a fish catching machine! There is a down side to light wire: Every fish will tear up the lure and need to be re-formed by hand or put a small bender in ur boat. Eventually the vibration will cause the "R" bend to break. Most store bought spinnerbaits are on .035 so they don't bend or break....... but light wire catches more fish!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking Dead Posted January 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Here they are, made the same wY without the name HP. https://www.mannsbait.com/shop/1-4-oz-Classic-Spinnerbait-White-p111455475 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tally Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 yes that is the same classic bait without his name. The make a twist instead of the "R" to keep them them from breaking. But that video is a completely different bait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladesandbaits Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) The Original Manns Classic was .028 on 1/2 oz and .032 on 3/4 oz Piano wire.Now it is SS. I designed the bait Hank is holding in his hand in the video front to back. This bait is .028 on 1/2 oz and .032 on 3/4 oz. blended wire very similar to piano wire but holds memory much better, vibrates typical of piano wire and is 10 times easier to re-tune Berkely/ pure Fishing will have this bait on the market late Feb. 2020 Edited January 23, 2020 by bladesandbaits add to text 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakefreeman78 Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 I just watched hank's new show on 1000 lakes and saw that spinner bait that you developed @bladesandbaits. I've spent the last 3 hours scouring the web trying to find these baits. Do you have any idea what they will market them under? I don't see a single spinner bait on the Berkeley site at this point. Thanks alot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladesandbaits Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 I've got a contract with them right now but they havnt pulled the trigger yet on full production .They were going to bring it out at ICast but who knows with all the setbacks right now. They have the rights to the design as long as they market the bait and it goes back too me as soon as they stop marketing it. If they don't Market it I will bring it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mags Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 Did this spinnerbait ever come out? I see the Hank Parker spinnerbait from Manns on Tackle Warehouse, but not sure if it is the same bladesandbaits designed bait. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Manns_Hank_Parker_Classic_Colorado_Indiana_Spinnerbait/descpage-MCL.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
