I have tied a hand full of inline spinner-baits with marabou. I used bloodquill feathers on a coil. I simply tied the base of the quill to the coil starting from the back of the coil and worked forward. Basically the same method you would use to tie buck tail. My problem is when the lure is wet the stems of the feathers stick out and don’t look natural. I have not had the luxury of dissecting a store bought lure. After watching some you-tube videos on tying marabou jigs I have seen a technique where the end of the feather is attached to the jig then wrapped around the hook shaft and secured with a few wraps of thread around the base of the quill. Will this technique work on a coil for large musky sized in-lines. I would give it a try but it is too cold in the garage where I work. I would think the wrapped coil would not give a large profile needed for the large musky spinner. What technique do you guys use? Thanks, Bruce

Most of those would sell for $10-$15 retail. The mantas might draw more.

DSV My set up is very similar to what Mark has and works fine at 1RPM. The key is to not put the epoxy on too thick. Bruce
