vicfish Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Hi all. Another Newbie here on TU. I am wanting to get into making some spinners, but was wondering what others use for the spinner body? Any comments or hints on making spinners are most welcome. Thanks!

Mr B Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I use the brass body parts from Jann Netcraft to build my #3, #4 & #5 steelhead and salmon spinners. Mr B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 I like to use spinnerbait molds with stainless wire to mold the head onto a straight section of wire, make a loop for a split ring and add solid metal beads for extra body in front of the molded head, tye bucktail to the back and a blade and clevis to the front with a loop and you're done. Brass bodies are nice but I like the beads, first I think it distributes any possible damage to the wire shaft by having the lure flex the whole length of the lure and you can get a whack of beads relatively cheap and use them for many lure styles.
