These are the whisker wires https://www.lurepartsonline.com/Twin-Spin-Frame
-
Very common here in Australia, generally a 0.51 main wire is used, with a closed loop, a “whisker” wire is then threaded on afterwards. mustang wire make both.

It’s a figure 8 link, I open it up, put the hook in it, close the hook end, I then open the other end a little and sit it where the eye of the hook would go. i used a file on the hook shaft area, was getting heavy flash, now it’s good. i open the eye up after casting, powdercoat, slip the blade on, and then close the eye while powdercoat is still tacky, before curing, figure the powdercoat bonding with the eye might give it some more strength.

Poison tail works well, that’s a 5/0 gamakatsu spinnerbait hook. zman don’t appear to have extended the patent to Australia luckily.
-
I don’t think they are widely used in the us mate, other than that AliExpress would have them cheap premise.
-
Angling AI make those molds, but they won’t sell them to you, they’ll only sell via u make em, so you are in a pickle!
-
Hi, did you end up selling the remainder? Might be keen for more regards simon
-
I'll be honest, I love the Caney Creek Croaker, its a great mold once you master it.
-
Hi, how much are you selling them for?
-
I’ve also made a chatterbait using this mold, I did it differently to how most are. i used a spinnerbaits hook and a open eye s link, I opened both eyes, then closed one around the spinnerbaits hook, I then sat the open end where the eye of the wire form sits, I then pour, I then open the eyelet out from the lead a bit before I paint, while the powder coat is still soft I place the blade, close the eye and hang from the hook to cure in the oven. i reckon the curing helps bond the eye back to the head
-
It’s almost certainly from cast industries, possibly sold from lure parts online.
-
I vaguely remember lakeside baits might have once made some, Leonard at baitjunkies bought them out, I’d try him
-
Thanks I’ll try them again, I ruined1000 jigs with them previously!
-
Hi smalljaw did you ever get confirmation the problem got sorted?
-
I have a Boggs, it frustrates me in the way the wire is held in the twisting tool. It means I need to have a large gap between the beads and the loop. i tend to get my worth $5 job out and use it instead.
-
I’ve used a sharpie type pen on my spinnerbaits heads in the past, works fine, I did apply a clear coat of powder coat over the top to stop it coming off
-
Try shortys hooks, depending on the wry they may order them in?

How to paint/powdercoat/blue chatterbait blades?
edgecrusher replied to Munkin's topic in Wire Baits
If you use bulk, maybe talk to one of the suppliers who sell plates blades, they may be able to offer a Matt option. Or find the thread on gold plated jig heads and contact the plater direct. -
Great work and credit for sharing the how too’s, agree with frank whilst we are all curious, few would be likely to try it!
-
Couple of golds on here.... https://www.prismaticpowders.com/shop/powder-coating-colors?color=pris_gold
-
Prismatic powders are good too. thickness is usually due to application: Jar dipping will be thicker than dipping in a fluid bed, then spraying will usually be thinner, using a proper powder coat gun would probably be thinnest, but probably not practical
-
I bought 1000 several years ago, to go in the do it ball head, they all fell out of the lures, assume the bend either wasn't enough or they were shorter than the proper wires, cost me a few $$$, stupidly I supplied a customer with 600 heads without testing them first to discover the problem.....
-
I mainly use prismatic powders, huge huge colour selection!
-
Send him a message, they will make it - I’ve seen them make the grub in huge sizes before. if I recall they had10 inch at one stage!
-
Try Rupert at ultra molds, sure there’s is like this
