My first go at in line spinners

[Cgolf]

Alright these are a bit rough, but at least the last end twisted better and I cut the tag end off with a dremel (that end of course is under a sinker lol). My wire bending tools are in the picture. If these work and I continue to mess around with this I may need to buy a proper wire bender. let me know what ya think.

Hey there is NOTHING wrong with those spinners! Some of my best inlines had unpainted bullet weights as bodies. And how pretty your wraps are have no influence on how many fish they will catch! 

Just personal preference, but I do like my blades a little lower so the blade turns and covers at least 3/4 of the body. 

Those look like northland crawler harness blades, good looking blades!

I guess I am so used to tying crawler harnesses and some other rigs that I went crazy on the spacing. I do like those blades, but the Tommy Harris blades are nuts but very expensive. The Northlands are the best value in good looking blades.

They look good, as long as they spin. I noticed that you put a bead in the front of the plastic clevis. Good choice this will prevent you clevis from getting caught on your wire wraps. Other than that, either tighten your wire wraps, or cut your tag end closer to your main wire, this way it won't be sticking out and have a sharp end. (in picture 2)

Very nice for the first go around!!!  Using pliers to bend wire is a good way to learn the basics but there is no substitute for a good wire bender. For a long time I used a Little Blue Bender  to bend wire forms for spinnerbaits, and I still do but I got a Hagens pro former and that makes creating in-line spinners a breeze. You can have a lot of fun with it, take the treble hooks you want to use and tie some hackle or marabou of them and you'll have your own dressed baits. I pour jigs so I got a lure body mold to pour and now I can make Rooster Tail spinners and they work really well too. Good luck with making those, you are off to a good start and if you can make them like that with pliers, I can only imagine how nice they would be with a good wire former.
