HAWGHUNNA Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 I've Been Making My Own Spinner Baits For A Few Years, Thought I Would Try My Hand At The Baits. These Are Some Promos I'm Still Working Out The Kinks. What Do You Think? http://i17.tinypic.com/2yxnnt0.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haybay larry Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 They look store bought to me! Great job!...Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norcalbassin Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Those look great, but how did you attach the blade directly to the hook eye like that. I've been thinking about making some myself, but I just can't figure that out. Thanks, Norcalbassin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clamboni Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 If you take a punch with a slow taper and a small tip you can open up the line tie. Then put the blade on and close the tie with pliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 It's hard to see the heads. What head and hook are you using? I have been able to do the 1/8 oz. arky heads, which use light wire hooks, the way you say, but; when I try it with heavier hooks, they break.

MDC Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Just wanted to say that Craig (plop) sent me some of his blades and they are Grade A. Give them a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clamboni Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 I'm using Mustad 32786, 60 deg heavy wire. I had a couple break but then I changed punches. As long as I'm using a thin punch with a gradual taper, hit the punch lightly, and only open the eye as far as I need to, I haven't had a problem. Every one that I've broken was either with too broad a punch or hitting too hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAWGHUNNA Posted March 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Guys, the swing bladez are being made with a Hilts LMSB 38 Spinnerbait mold not a jig mold...there fore with the R-Bend wire form that is used to mold the 3/8 oz. spinnerbait,you snip,grab with completely round tip crafting pliers and bend into a tight circular eyelet. You actually get 2 swingblades from one wire form .... just bend a hook loop on the excess piece that was cut from the original and use to pour another head. P.S. I have 2 of these molds and I would be willing to trade one of them for a different mold,bulk of bladez,soft plastic pouring supplies. Send me a P.M. if you are interested.
