muskyhunter63 Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Does anyone know of a source to purchase 3" propellers like the ones on a topper type lure? I would like to make some large topper type lures for musky fishing. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladesandbaits Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Seems I remember funnyfarm showed some pic's once that had some handmade prps that he made!I have not seem him around in a while. I would immagine that you could get something like .18 or .20 alluminum and a pair of tin snips and fasion them yourself. B&B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Do you mean like the kind on globe type lures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muskyhunter63 Posted November 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 No to the globe props. I have several of those. What I am looking for are some three inch pointed propellers. If you have ever seen a musky lure called the BS Willey's topper type lure. That is what I am looking for. I have several of the two inch pointed props but want to make something bigger to catch the toothy critters with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollo Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Like B&B suggested, you can make your own. I have some of Frenchy LaMay's older handmade "LeLure" toppers which use hand cut props which look to be made of stainless steel. The biggest of them are about 2-1/4". I have used some 2-1/4" brass blades with an integral bearing which I bought from Moore's Lures in Woodruff, WI. According to their catalog, the blades were made in the early '40's. They look,spin and sound great. I highly recommend both the blades and Moore's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinpo Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Check with Stamina lures, I think they have 3" props for top water baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muskyhunter63 Posted November 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Thanks all for your help. I will give Stamina a call and see what they have. I was at Dick Moore's house last Saturday. Nice guy! Talk about lure making parts, WOW!!. Dick has a basement full of stuff and took time out off his day to show my son and I around his place and had everything we were looking for. Wish I would have remembered those props. Again thanks.
