Beauties @Chris Catignani. That one on the left is a keeper for sure. Love the idea.

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.

With all the talk about the mini chatterbaits figured I would make some.  Regular 1/2oz chatterbait here for a size reference.

Years ago I made two 3/8 oz w/ willow blades & two 1/4 oz w/ colorado. 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.

You must of been using Berkeley Vanish line. It is called Vanish because that's what happens to any lures you have on.

So. Much. Talent. 

 

I had no idea. None.


Whenever I scroll through this thread, I’m amazed by the bait-making talent on display.  Some good inspiration for my own bait-making goals.

For you Spinnerbait hammers it makes perfect sense.  

 

I think one day I'd like to try to make my own bladed jigs.   I'm never gonna recreate a Vision 110 lol.

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.

Good looking jigs Jeff. The spinnerbait picture is giving me a headache.  LOL

Thanks bud.  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. 🤔

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.

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.

Swim jig heads I am finishing up in 3/8 and 1/4oz. Going to add either a single wire or screwlock keepers.

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.

I sometimes think of using my dogs hair as dubbing.   

Is that wrong?
