For those more expensive Blue Foxes, I always opt to use the single hooks (the smaller blue foxes are treble only, but you can certainly cut those smaller trebles and replace them with your own single hooks)...they won't snag as easily and the single hook will actually give you a better hookset while being less damaging to the fish, which is a plus if you intend on releasing it. Great tips on the DIY spinners...definitely much more cost effective.

Very nice job and great video! I agree on your selection of best lures. I know you are trying to make low-cost and practically no-cost spinners but if you value your time, get a Twistech. You'll be happy you did. A Twistech wire bender tool is only $99. A Twistech changes the hobby. You can make many many more spinners in the same amount of time. I made my first spinner by hand in 1972. I am so sorry I waited until 2020 to buy my first Twistech wire bender. I am so glad I did.

Great tips. I've caught many brookies using a yellow-colored Rooster tail with small red worms on the hooks. I'll turn a rotten log over to find the red worms. I've caught many blue gills using a # 10 snelled hook, a tiny lead split shot, a bamboo pencil bobber, 6 pound test line, wax worms and a bamboo cane pole. You can raise your own wax worms by putting any left over wax worms in a empty fish aquarium with saw dust, crushed corn flakes and a bit of honey. The wax worms will turn into moths that will breed to make more wax worms.

I've bought several lures just because of the way they looked.. some of them are beautiful and neat looking and I haven't opened or used a few of them haha.. I was hesitant one day to use this nice swimbait I got for Christmas (It was $23) and of course on my second cast it got snagged on some under water irrigation pipes in the lake.. So, I jumped in with my needle nose pliers and went to swimming and got it back lmao haven't used it since.

Lol, I know the feeling. Lures are designed to attract the fisherman, and not the fish. That is how they make their money. Fish don't buy lures, people do. Think about that.

I never start a session fishing with a spinner cos I like to be more engaged with the lure, twitching and jigging, etc. However I lost count a long time ago the amount of times the fish wouldn't take anything else but a spinner.

I assume that you use the snap swivels to attach the spinners to your line/leader, right? I have seen people recommend this. But, Mepp’s, for example, says on their website to tie directly onto the lure. Any thoughts on what might be better?

Good looking spinners. I love the online blades. Technically I am not sure the purpose of a bead on top of the online blade. Matter of fact I don't ever want anything on top of the blade that might impact the spin. It does create some resistance. But otherwise love the paint job and colors you have. The pink 👍👍
@jeffhernandez31903 жыл бұрын
Oops. Inline blade
@EKEACRES3 жыл бұрын
The beads on top actually make them spin better because it forces the blade to remain further out from the body, thus better spin. I've done both versions, and the top beads work flawlessly.
@jimmynich4791 Жыл бұрын
@@EKEACRES That's true, if the blade touches the top where the wraps are under the eye it may well stop spinning. I noticed it with some mepps they would stop spinning but start spinning again when I sped up the retrieve but sometimes I want to retrieve slowly.

Survival is a calories game. Fishing uses more than it puts back. Even the best fishing celebrities get skunked. Trapping fish and land animals far more productive plus it frees you up for other important tasks water gathering shelter building etc. Short term it would work but long term it won't.
