Your thoughts on this spinner?

Recommended Posts

Thanks for the compliments. I haven't tried it out yet, it has been too cold lately (for me) to do any fishing. Monday is supposed to be up around 45 degrees, so I'll try it out then. I'm hoping the action will be good and the bait won't ride up to high.

The grub is about 3" long. I used a one sided mold. I only have a few of the 2 sided ones and with how much they cost, I probably will only buy ones for the baits that really need to be 2 sided. The mold for the grub is one from LC and I really like it. It took a bit of practice to figure out how to pour the tails, but they are starting to turn out better on a consistent basis.

Hey guys...I tried out this spinner today and it has some pretty good action and runs well.

Sorry to say I didn't catch anything on it, but think it will do well come spring. I couldn't get a bite until I went with an 1/8 jig head with a 3" twister retrieved real slow next to the bottom. I guess I can't complain since it's the middle of Jan.

a few in fla throw a rig in florida that ia primitive variation of your idea. called a payton rig,and is deadly during the spawn(but no spinner). also,very good on lakes that have a trashy bottom. i was researching one day and found the same idea that dated back to the late 1800s. they called it the hardy rig. it was rigged with pork instead of plastic. the payton rig was named after a man that lived just north of orlando,fla.and has been around since the 30s-40s.(maybe longer) point being that your bait will be deadly slow rolled around spawning areas. only the fla crackers knew about the rig and most are dead now. you might think about using pork in the extreme cold water (dance does it quite often) pete s.
