Looking to make some 1/2 oz and 3/4 oz inline spinners. Anyone know where to find appropriate lure bodies? Preferably ones that I could powder coat. Also would appreciate input on selection/size of the other components.

The usual suspects  ; Jann's, lurepartsonline, barlowes, etc. ?

Not sure what the insinuation is with the emoji. I had checked janns and barlows and they did not have any that heavy unless i was to stack multiple but that would have made the lure longer than i was wanting to.

 

Looks like lurepartsonline has some that will work. I was unaware of that site as I am new to lure making so thanks for the suggestion.

Sorry bro, i am in a funk. Hope you find what you need..

Worm sinkers work perfect.

Thought of this if i couldn't find any. I like the incorporation of the swivels.

   I use worm weights, too. But I like a lot more blade area in comparison to the weight.

 

I thought I had a pic, but must have erased it. When WallyWorld or DSG had sales on spinnerbaits I would cut the wire at the R-Bend. Remove the small blade off the clevis (sp) and attach the larger blade that was on the swivel. Now bend a loop in the wire, attach the swivel to the loop and wrap. 

Voila, instant inline. Give it a try 

A tungsten sinker could keep your body size smaller while upping the weight.

 

I've seen egg sinkers used for bodies on heavier inlines also.

What size blades are those?

Some more inlines using a worm sinker with an option of going weedless.

I build mine with swivels. It’s a great option to incorporate into your build.

 

Are you looking to build heavier ones to better handle stronger currents or casting?

 

I’d guess size 4 or 5 on those blades, perhaps French (love them)  style.

 

 

I use stainless weights from bass pro, they are eagle claw brand and come in a green case. I then paint them and clear coat for added protection.

 Just for casting, was trying to replicate the Joe Thomas pro series rooster tails.

   Advice on replicating roostertails: use either one size bigger blade for the same weight body or else use a lighter body for the same size blade. Search the web for "swing blades", and measure the length accurately to compare. This way the blade starts turning sooner and easier. That's important for roostertails, because hits frequently come right after the spin starts.

   Some vendors sell "cocktail" spinner parts. These are basically just copies of roostertails.  

   I've gone this route. Good luck.      jj

Sorry I missed your post @Jmoney402. I didn’t know you were replicating something. What you need is a finesse weight like a mojo rig weight.
