Shawn M Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hi guys, I was pouring some plastic after work today and started thinking about a lure I used some years ago. I put these together and was wondering what your opinion was on them. Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncleskippy Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hey Shawn, You really have been coming up with some great ideas. I think you spinner will have a lot of action with a good flash. Keep up with the great ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predator Bass Baits Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Nice job. Now is the soft plastic from a 2 piece mold ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted January 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Thanks for the compliments. I haven't tried it out yet, it has been too cold lately (for me) to do any fishing. Monday is supposed to be up around 45 degrees, so I'll try it out then. I'm hoping the action will be good and the bait won't ride up to high. The grub is about 3" long. I used a one sided mold. I only have a few of the 2 sided ones and with how much they cost, I probably will only buy ones for the baits that really need to be 2 sided. The mold for the grub is one from LC and I really like it. It took a bit of practice to figure out how to pour the tails, but they are starting to turn out better on a consistent basis.

Mr B Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Very nice spinner Shawn. Have you thought about attaching a "Hitchiker" to the eye of the hook to keep the grub from sliding down the shank? Just a thought. Mr B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted January 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 That's a real good idea Mr. B. When I had the idea about these I just put them together with what I had laying around. Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted January 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Hey guys...I tried out this spinner today and it has some pretty good action and runs well. Sorry to say I didn't catch anything on it, but think it will do well come spring. I couldn't get a bite until I went with an 1/8 jig head with a 3" twister retrieved real slow next to the bottom. I guess I can't complain since it's the middle of Jan. Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete s. Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 a few in fla throw a rig in florida that ia primitive variation of your idea. called a payton rig,and is deadly during the spawn(but no spinner). also,very good on lakes that have a trashy bottom. i was researching one day and found the same idea that dated back to the late 1800s. they called it the hardy rig. it was rigged with pork instead of plastic. the payton rig was named after a man that lived just north of orlando,fla.and has been around since the 30s-40s.(maybe longer) point being that your bait will be deadly slow rolled around spawning areas. only the fla crackers knew about the rig and most are dead now. you might think about using pork in the extreme cold water (dance does it quite often) pete s.
