Fallser Posted August 23, 2021 Posted August 23, 2021 Normally, I tie flies, since I fly fish most of the time. The three guys I fish with like the Mepps style in-line spinners. These are modeled after a beat up Mepps that I brought for $0.25 at a fishing flea market. I used size 4 VMC trebles and size 3 French blades. Decided to use skirt layers rather than hair as the dressing. These I know work since we caught bass, perch and chain pickerel on them back in May. Plan to try them out on Canadian smallmouth next week. I copied the idea from an in-line spinner I picked up at a fishing flea market a couple of years ago. The guy was selling them to use in salt water for stripers. The original is about 10 inches long and weighs 2 oz. The first batch I made up I used an in-line spinner blade, like the original, but I didn't get a lot of action from the blade when I tested them. I think the blade was too small. I re-did them using a clevis and blade. The blades on the smaller ones are size 5 French blades, the hook is a 2/0 streamer hook with a 3 inch grub. The larger one has a size 6 Colorado blade, the hook is a 4/0 streamer hook with a 5 inch grub. I'll see how the smallmouth and pike in Ontario, like them. 7 Quote

Allen It's either a 3/4 or 1oz head, probably 1.25oz all told and close to 2oz with a trailer. Quote

Super User scaleface Posted September 5, 2021 Super User Posted September 5, 2021 This would be interesting . I saw this on a knife maker forum . Guys who make their own send them to a forum member and he puts them through the paces then writes a review .For the guys who want to participate send a spinnerbait to a member and he has to fish them , then rank them . I'm sure I would come in last but it sounds like fun . Bragging rights only and the tester gets to keep the baits . Quote

I've only gotten them on the JackHammer without it ripping down the middle. I wonder if Gary and Evergreen and zman have a deal Quote

Super User Munkin Posted October 22, 2021 Author Super User Posted October 22, 2021 Everyone and their brother uses them around here but they are hard to find for some reason. Supply and demand is why I will be making a few of them. My record is 920 1/8 tubeheads in an hour by myself so they are not hard to mass produce. Allen 2 Quote
