Spinners for the sping.

Hand made Spinners (http://pierandsurf.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/1767)


I have made up some spinners to try out in the spring. I have beefed up the wire on some to use in the salt.

To the quality of JigMakers work. They cast great and look good too. ;) ;)

Nice work. That's alot of spinners. Do you sell them or do you just do alot of fishing and lose a fair number?

[JIGMAKER]

I swap alot with people who make other things. I have not sold any of this style spinner yet. It keeps me busy when I can not get to the water.

They certainly do look great! What will you be using them to catch?

I don't use inline spinners much, but made up a few several weeks ago, with Colorado & Willow blades for panfish. I used them a lot when I was a kid, and they worked real good for Perch & Pickeral, so I thought I should at least add some to my tackle box.

I've never tried the inline blades, how do you like them compared to other blades, beside the fact they don't need a clevise? Any down side to using them?

I also like to dress the trebles with a few hackles, do you do any with dressed trebles?

Jim,

I have used JigMakers spinners as I have 4. He gave me two like the ones pictured and two for salt water. The saltwater ones are I think 1/4 or 1/2 oz and the larger one maybe 3/4 to 1 oz. I have used the saltwater ones this season and did pretty well. I make my own lures and rigs and it seems to me without the clevoses they are a little bit stiffer action. You can reall feel the difference.

Bigjim,
I use them for trout in the spring, but I have caught Small mouth bass on them. Yes, I put hackle and bucktail on them, but I didn't do any in this lot. I feel that the in line blades spin more freely than using a clevise. I do still make spinners with diferent blade styles using clevises.
RuddeDog,
I sent you a pm.

Jigmaker & RuddeDogg, thanks for the replies!

I make most of my own stuff as well. I'm always looking to add something different to my tackle boxes! Although I already have more tackle than I'll ever use! :D

Jigmaker, I looked thru your other pics too, you sure do nice work!

If either of you guys are interested in some trading sometime, let me know!
