[Bow Man]

So I recently picked up some parts and bits to make my own spinners. So I thought would post up a pic of the first few I did, they are French blade size 0, weight comes in at 3/32nds.

 

Let me know what you all think.

 

Cheers

Thanks, I was surprised how easy it was to make them. A few simple tools ( pliers, cutters ).

Look like beauties! you spin them around a tank or something to see how they work out?

Bow_Man try a size 5 like the mepps but use a mustad hook with a feather on the back. Pike and Smallmouth killer!

Bow Man, looking good!

 

They look ready for a good day on the stream.  Let us know how the trials go.

Great job Bow_Man they look like deadly, I'm sorry for the bass they don't stand a chance.

I tossed a few in the pool and they worked wonderful, very similar feel to a Mepps ( which I was try to go for ). Next time I think I will try some other "body styles" but I am very happy for now.

 

I bought enough materials to make 25 spinners all in silver, gold/brass and copper.

 

Thanks again everyone .

How much did the setup cost you?

I made 25 and it cost $32.00, that was for all the bits and pieces and shipped to my door. Company was luremaking.com. All parts where top notch and of very good quality.

Considering a mepps is easily $5+, $0.75 for those 25 isn't bad at all!

They look solid too. Now post some fish pics from fishing them!

Here is a spinner fly that I made. I think I will make a few more of these, once I place another order of parts, thought I would try one first to see how it turned out.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I am really happy how both the spinners and fly spinner turned out. Will defiantly make more of both.

 

 

thanks again.

Looks good man.

Bow Man, that hackled spinner is looking good.  If I didn't know you made it, be asking you what make it was so I could go out and buy a couple.
