AlamOso Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 I had some success in the last few weeks testing out a new spinner that I made to target Guadalupe Bass. You can see a report, which includes some more details about it by clicking the link below. http://www.rivercitylures.50megs.com/rpts/20051203/20051203.htm Here are a couple of pictures of the spinner. It's made by attaching a spinner shank onto a streamer fly hook, with some flash tied in and topped off with a paddle tail grub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskiefool Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 I like that It looks like just the ticket for Stream Trout also they love that in-line blade and the thumper tail is a great Idea coupled with the Flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomah Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Wow looks great man! How long is it? Would love to try that on some Smallies up here in michigan. Is there anyway you could make it with a little larger front blade (spinner, or whatever it is) Pm me am intrested in picking some of those up if you are making them to sell.

AlamOso Posted December 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Muskiefool, thanks for your opinion on trout. I can't wait until I can test it in a trout stream. Boomah, the overall length is 2-7/8". I have made a larger one with a #2 hook and #5 blade with a larger paddle tail grub. It was a little over 4" long. I probably will try to put it together as a product, but may still change a thing or two. It depends on some things working out. I sent you a PM.

WidowMaker Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Thats a very good looking bait......flawless. Have you thought about making a larger size for rockfish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Afraid my posting has gotten lost. If you can tell me, what is covering the head of the grub? Thanks, Pop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muskie magnet Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 I am guessing that bait is going to be better than good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlamOso Posted December 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Pop - that's a chrome plated brass cone head bead - the same that is used in fly tying. It has a "bell" shape that covers the grub nicely. They ar a lot like Bullet Weights. The size shown in the picture is 1/4" diameter. Go check out the fly section of any tackle shop, and I'm sure you'll find these conical beads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
