esoxangler Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 Happy New Year Everyone! Just getting into making my own inline spinners for something to do over the winter months. I want to make them for Bass and Northern Pike. My dilema is that I am not sure what wire gauge to use for either species. I don't want to go to light so that it bends the shaft if a decent sized fish grabs hold. I guess I am looking for any advice as to minimum/maximum size, from any of you who have ever made your own inline spinners? Thanks in advance. Esox Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted January 1, 2011 Super User Posted January 1, 2011 Try this Esox. http://www.jannsnetcraft.com/content/make_fishing_lures.htm EDIT: I forgot to mention, I like .030 dia for inlines. Quote
Super User islandbass Posted January 2, 2011 Super User Posted January 2, 2011 I like to make inlines too, mostly for bass, trout and salmon. For bass, I use anywhere from 0.03x to 0.041 or so, depending on what's available, usually 0.031. 0.035 or 0.041. I know many muskie folks start at 0.051 or even higher. Quote
