rustedhook Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 Anyone by chance have an old Strike King Short arm spinnerbait that came with a weed guard they could post a picture of? Can't find any on the web. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD_mudbug Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 Here is a pic of what I think you are looking for -the Strike King Spin Dance Short Arm. There may have different models and the one with the weed guard was called the 'Drop Model'. They also had a similar bait (or just a renamed version) called The Short Arm Spinnerbait. Those baits were around in the 1990s. There is also the Jig-N-Spin which is a jig with a blade on a flexible wire. Retrobassin has a video on the 1991 Bass Pro Shops master catalog. The Short Arm Spinner bait can be see from 6:29 to 7:29 at the bottom right corner of the left page. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ilucla7gwBs Unfortunately, I threw out my old catalogs a while back. I hope this helps. Jim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Young Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 Simply put the jignspin is nothing more than a jig with a jig spinner attached. I've done that a lot of times in summer on bright moonlit nights for smallmouth. They'll thump it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made a mold and wanted to see wire length and angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD_mudbug Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 They look nice. I am not sure if I am seeing the swivel correctly in your pics. You may want to put the swivel the other way especially if you will do any bottom hopping with those baits. I usually put the rotating end of the swivel towards the back to reduce the dirt and lake snot the can get into the swivel and shorten its life span. The non-rotating fixed end of the swivel will be in the front and they is no way particles can get into that side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May even make the blade start quicker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
