Inline spinners?

[grimlin]

And the addiction begins...My favorite color silver with a hint of green.#4 owner hook brown craw.

Anybody else make these?

Looking good, grim.

You know that I make them.  

The tail looks awesome too.l 8-)

The only thing I would consider is making the shaft a little shorter. Having it that long relatice to the components of the body, clevis and blade can make it get bent out of shape more easily.

Ahhh,Got ya...thanks for the tip.

That's a good looking spinner.  Care to share how you twisted the wire around, where you got your components to make them and all??

Right now i'm getting all my components @ janns netcraft.Barlows tackle will be my next buy for some different body types.

That link is the how to...Only difference i do is wrap it 3 times on step #5 instead of two like they show.Also instead of putting the hook right on the wire shaft loop i put a split ring on there.So if i want to change out hooks i can do so.

Pretty simple and you can add your own color combination that you may not be able to get in stores.

As for hooks i look around for deals....I just happen to find owner hooks on sale for .99 for 2 hooks.

Nice looking spinner but I agree with Islandbass the shaft needs to be a little shorter.   Also make sure your blade is the right size for the size wire your using

I've been making in-lines since I was in High School and still do, I probably have enough for 50 people and still I make them.  If you want to get into the Shyster style you can order the Mold from Do-It to make the bodies and save yourself some cash.  Nothing wrong with extra wraps in the wire or using split rings, but do make sure when you make the eye it's centered on the shaft of the spinner so it runs true.

I order 1/4 lb coils of American wire from Jann's and the bodies if you order them in Bulk from Stamina NOTE:  If you go through them call your order in and make sure they have everything you want in the order!!!  Otherwise spend the few extra bits at Janns and buy your bodies there.  Get your trebles through Capt Hook website.

Can't tell from the photo but are you using folded or stirrup clevis for the blade??  I have both but like the folded way better as there are no corners to catch any debris.

I don't know if anyone remembers the old Weller company??  They had some really cool blades that had a deep raised center on them and kind of look like a Indiana blade, well several months ago I made a hugh score on Ebay from a woman whose husband used to work there.  I got over a 1500 of the old blades in several size's and in copper (love it), silver, brass and a few golds.  Needless to say I don't make many with those blades except for my own use.

There's also a guy on ebay that sells the bodies, search on LURE MAKING BODIES or spinner bodies and look.  And check out all the different catalouges.

Enjoy and keep making them up.
