Middle, short arm one was a killer spinnerbait for me for years. For some reason I went away from them. You just inspired me! Good luck with them. I have found myself throwing a spinner bait more and more over the past few years. I wish I knew years ago that its hard to lose a spinner bait...I wouldn't have bought so many. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User Munkin Posted January 31 Author Super User Share Posted January 31 With all the talk about the mini chatterbaits figured I would make some. Regular 1/2oz chatterbait here for a size reference. Allen 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful shad skirts on them and everything. I lost three of them on three consecutive casts spaced out over two days. I swore off fluorocarbon and spinnerbaits right there. Until I tried it again last summer because of a thread on Bass Resource. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Zurawski Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Some stuff I been working on this winter: Mini spinnerbaits built on 3/16oz frame lpo calls "finesse c-spin" with fine cut silicon skirts tied war eagle style. These look real good in the water and can be burned without rolling over. Can't wait to try them when the water warms up.

I haven't been tying hair for very long and feel like I'm just starting to get the hang of it. 😆 I know what you mean about the spinnerbaits pic. I don't know why it's appears all squished down and distorted like that. When I click on it, it opens in a new window and looks normal then. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Munkin Posted March 18 Author Super User Share Posted March 18 So I found a bunch of GP 1/4oz chatterbait heads that I honestly don't remember buying. Figured I would throw on some smaller blades and skirts to see how it would turn out. I like it but wish the hooks were smaller.

DanielG Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I spent the past couple of days making a 'mohawk lure'. Ya, I know, cabin fever up here in Maine is getting bad. Anyway, it was an interesting diversion into something a bit different. Check it out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Munkin Posted March 20 Author Super User Share Posted March 20 Swim jig heads I am finishing up in 3/8 and 1/4oz. Going to add either a single wire or screwlock keepers. Allen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielG Posted Thursday at 02:51 AM Share Posted Thursday at 02:51 AM So, I made this bait using some holographic foil from a craft store. Been wanting to try it for some time now. It had it's challenges as it's not actually foil but a plastic. It forms with the use of a heat gun though. And no, I don't sell anything with my videos. I just like the process of filming and putting the thing together after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
