I want to make french style spinners with blades sizes 5, 4, and 3. I'm confused though on what size and diameter wire to use with them? And also don't know what size and diameter the hole should be for the brass lure bodies, brass beads, etc. I want the wire to match up with the beads, bodies, but don't know what size to use to match them up so they are right. Do you know how to do this? Thank you!

How to maje spin bait

[@scycosnake3964]

Is there a reason why you put the reflector tape inside the blade over outside? My dad sells spinners but he puts it on the outside

[@hooked4lifeca]

The idea is that the flash becomes visible to a fish coming up from behind as an added inducement.

[@scycosnake3964]

@@hooked4lifeca ive done it on both front and back but if i had to chose i go front because i fiqured if they chase it they will hit it anyway

Boa noite show

I have recently started making my own inline spinners like this but many of my blades do not seem to turn consistently . Do you have any tips or tricks to tune the spinner so that the Blades will always turn ?

[@hooked4lifeca]

The clevis has to turn against a smooth surface, like a brass bead or body. The spinner shaft also has to be straight and free of rough (damage from pliers as an example).

Thanks for your reply that will help

Não tem a manha, se tivesse, tinha quebrado o arame e não deixado a ponta que corta a linha.

who sells blades that thump like Blue fox blades?

[@hooked4lifeca]

Try lure parts online. That's where Rick got all of his materials.

[@robbk5769]

Where can you get the shafts?

[@hooked4lifeca]

I'll ask Rick and get back to you.

[@hooked4lifeca]

Rick just told me that he get his components fro Pen-Tac. They should be available from tackle stores, but if not they can be bought online.

[@robbk5769]

Thanks! I was actually able to find bulk shafts at lurepartsonline.com but anyway; thank you very much!

Muito top 🖒

[@caliisbtk]

Where did you find the Pentac blades and bodies?

[@hooked4lifeca]

www.pen-tac.com/blades.html

[@caliisbtk]

hooked4lifeca thanks a lot. One more question. Can you tel me he size(thickness) of the shaft and the size of the Clevis used?

[@hooked4lifeca]

Unfortunately no, for though I shot the video, Rick is the spinner expert. I couldn't tell you what he used here and I doubt he would remember after all of this time. The best I can offer is to work back from the blade size for a decent estimate.

[@jerrydunn3260]

Actually, this is not an inline spinner. Inline spinners do not have a clevis. Panther Martin spinners are inline spinners. If you doubt me, look in a spinners-parts catalog. You'll see the Panther Martin blades advertised as inline spinner blades, while the other types of blades will be advertised as what they are, like French spinner blades, Indiana spinner blades, Willowleaf spinner blades, etc.

[@markcsalvesenjr1148]

Jerry Dunn Inline refers to the fact that all components are in a straight line as compared to a safety pin spinner( regular spinnerbait). Whether the blade uses a clevis or not, it is still considered inline.
