  1. wow i got my do it spinner bait kit last Friday along with some extra spinner heads 1/4 oz and 3/8. The kit came with matching pairs of skirts enough to make 10. i made/put together 4 to start me out. one 1/4 and 3/8 of two different colors. Got up and eagerly waited for my fishing partners to go out on Saturday so i could not only try out my new bait but to show then off. Now i have to say im hooked nothing like casting out and landing a fish on a lure you made. there is no words to describe the felling brings a hole new experience to fishing. thanks tu
  2. ok i like the looks of that. i am going to try playing around with all of the ideas, mybe i will stumble on to something good or i might fail miserably but ether way its the fun and experience I'm really after. so thanks again and keep the ideas coming.
  3. i would like to restate that i have ordered spinner jig heads to use. This was just a thought. I'm asking for input on the idea and am grateful for any and all tips/advice and been there scratch that's. I like to learn from my mistakes and i also like to go in knowing what im in for or a possible out come of my actions. I'm shore every good inventor did not get it the first try and many people said that's not possible and it may not have been but look at all the other great things that were. Again thank you for the ideas and help
  4. ok thank you for the info, but my i ask a ? What is the difference in leading the hook eye and wire arm would you not be doing the same thing then? just a ? im learning and trying to understand. and if it makes a difference i would not be heating the hook and wire arm rather the brazing rod/or solder and poring/driping molten media on to the two in the joint
  5. i think this is what cooney and jsc are talking about am i correct Beetle Spin The Johnson Tackle Company introduce the clip-on jig/spinner over twenty years ago for people who like using small jighead and soft plastic body combinations. Typically used for panfish, other sport species also attack the bait. A small blade is attached by a swivel (the as for overhead arm spinnerbaits), but the wire frame is formed into a spring clip that opens to allow a jighead to be attached by sliding the jig eye into position such that the jig hook runs in the same direction as the overhead blade. Jighead dressings are on the short, more compact side and variable in material and design. The curl tail grub is popular, along with straight tail plastics and hair. The original jig dressing was called the cricket, a straight, double-tailed soft plastic creature that had little action except that it wagged up and down and side-to-side behind the spinning blade or with variations in retrieve speed. As the Beetle Spin became more popular, more designs were introduced and softer plastic was used for better action. Many species of fish will hit a Beetle Spin combo.
  6. well i think i might try it and some of the other ideas that have been covered. Thanks again and i will update with any results i have good and bad, more ideas are welcome
  7. Yes I would say that I would have to put the wire through the eye loop then bend it closed. To make it solid I was thinking solder or brazing it (just the loops) together. am I correct in that the loop/eye in a standerd jig head is indead the hook eye yes I know this is not the best or strongest method but would it be a plosiable alternative to buy premade heads and/or pouring my own again thanks for all the help and this is just all informatinal I have premade heads and a kit on the way I only asked because my local shop only stocks standerd jig heads no spinner or buzz heads so that got me thinking
  8. I was thinking braseing weld/tacking or soldering it to the eye loop
  9. Ok I'm new here and to custom tackel so thanks for the help and such a nice forum/site so with that said I was wondering if anyone has or what the thoughts on using a standard jig head to make a spinner jig by bending wire and fusing it to the jig head and yes I now I can buy pre made heads and I could buy the tools to pour my own but just wondering if this would be a option sorry my spelling and grammer are bad hope to hear some others thoughts
