Tonyowen1989@gmail.com Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 Im looking to build some spinners for salmon. I kind of want to use the idea of the mepps flying c but im having difficulty finding heavy bodies. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apdriver Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 I went through this several years ago. Built up a bunch for a King trip to the Nushagak in Alaska. Found out they like eggs a lot better than spinners! I think for the heavyweight spinners you will have to go with Brass Lure bodies and depending on how many you want there are a couple places where you can purchase them. Worth sells them at a wholesale price but in bulk. You don’t have to buy a thousand but there’s a small fee for less than that. Say 100. Then prolures online has a good selection if you just want a few. Here’s some links. http://www.proluresonline.com/s.nl/sc.14/category.22270742/.f https://lurecomponents.worthco.com/products/lure-bodies 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go55 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 How about flipping weight for Bass? The ones sold for purpose punching through heavy grass mat. 3/4oz through 2oz and smaller size compare to same weight of lead. I am not sure they are paintable though. Maybe powder coatable?

Go55 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 I meant tungsten weight. Sorry about not to mention so in the last post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21xdc Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 I would use this mold and put a larger wire in it than what you will build with. Pour and pull wire out....
