Chris.v Posted October 1, 2023 Report Share Posted October 1, 2023 Hi all, so yesterday i made my own spinners after I made some i did some testing and the blades where not spinning. Somone here with more experience that can point me in the right direction? wire I used is .024” Blades see picture body’s are .06 and .08oz with a .055 hole i also took a bigger blade what I had to try but still no luck, also giving it a pull to start spinning was no luck. greeting chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apdriver Posted October 1, 2023 Report Share Posted October 1, 2023 I’m leaning toward poor blade choice. Those small willows just won’t work well on the in-line and the Colorado isn’t a lot better. The Indiana and French will be your go to blades. Also, I would lean toward a metal bead under the clevis as it will be a better bearing than the plastic bead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.v Posted October 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 Thx for the tip on the blades i will look into it! I also have metal beads and place that on it. Also found the problem, after a friend of me and I tested some more we found that iff you’re body is not possible to move the blade spins very good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkin Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 Not an inline expert but my guess is that the blade in too big compared to the weight of the bait. I have seen this happen with spinnerbaits when a blade is too big or close to the line tie point. Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
