ING Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Hi, guys! I am making inline spinners for myself about three years and accumulated already some experience. Usually it is spinners for salmon similar to Mepps Flying "C" or Blue Fox with blades #5 or #6 and body weight about 5/8 to 7/8 oz. There is one problem that I couldn't resolve for now: Sometimes after casting the body of lure laying over the blade horizontally and stuck deadly. It is riding in the blade like in the boat. I am calling that "boating". I've tried change the speed of retrieving, parameters of the spinner but nothing help. It happens not so often and could be ignored (except that, spinners are working perfectly) but I just curious: is somebody has encountered with same cases? During the lure test that situation could be easy emulated manually: put spinner on the suffers of water horizontally (body in the blade) and start puling. Blade will stuck. All lures more or less are prone for that problem. Even Mepps Flying "C". Any ideas? Quote

B-Dozer Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Def. not an expert on making lures...but what if you put a bend (up) in the blade where it attaches to the inline body? It might not be able to lay down on the body of the spinner Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted October 14, 2014 Super User Posted October 14, 2014 I used to fish inlines some and lots of times the blade wouldn't turn unless I gave it a sharp snap before I began the retrieve. Quote

It might not be able to lay down on the body of the spinner Yes, I've played with that but it is going worth or stopping blade at all. I used to fish inlines some and lots of times the blade wouldn't turn unless I gave it a sharp snap before I began the retrieve. Sharp snap could help sometimes but it is undesirable because could spook the fish. Very often fish could be attracted by falling lure. Good spinner should start rotation immediately on low speed of retrieving. Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted October 15, 2014 Super User Posted October 15, 2014 Well if you find an answer be sure to let us know. I have used most every brand made and they all seem to have this problem on some of the baits. Quote
