Hook2Jaw Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 South Carolina, I'm guessing? We're absolutely flooded in Georgia as well. I'll be happy when someone rigs up a DIY underspin for jig heads! Quote

What kind of jig head underspin you looking for Just trying not to spend 4-5ea on a piece of terminal tackle I'm bound to lose. I've thought about wrapping wire around hook shanks and twisting eyes at the end and adding swivels and blades. I'm probably just better off buying the suckers. Quote

6288matt Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 I just bought some TRD spinz to use as an underspin on the zman minnows they were expensive but they are supposed to not come out Quote
SCWatrboyo1 Posted February 12, 2020 Author Posted February 12, 2020 I could make a mid and make 1)9oz do you guys think 1/9 would be too light, I'm also going to make in 2/0 and 3/0 sizee Quote
Super User Sam Posted February 13, 2020 Super User Posted February 13, 2020 Wow! The all look great! You did a magnificent job adding the underspins. Please let us know how they do when the waters go back down and clear up. Thanks for showing us your beautiful work. Send me a personal message when you post pics or tell your underspin stories so I can read the post. 1 Quote

I'll be happy when someone rigs up a DIY underspin for jig heads! Leland Lures (the Trout Magnet company) makes an underspin up to 1/4oz, 3 to a pack for $2.99. They use the shad dart shaped heads, and only come in three colors (pink, orange and chartreuse), but for the price point, you can't beat it. Quote

Patrick Reif Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 I modified a herring head underspin mold to accept a 240lbs test wire so I could extend the blade a bit further down and back. I honestly don't like the hardware Do-It sells for this mold. It's just flimsy to me, so I ground a channel and bent some wire. The larger blade(#3 I think) is for swimming. The smaller blade I don't even care if it turns or not. I slow roll that one and will hop it sometimes at the edge of emerging grass. I almost always tip these with a Skinny Dipper. That's my favorite commercial swimbait. Quote

Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted February 23, 2020 Global Moderator Posted February 23, 2020 I’ve still never used an underspin. What type of water/situations do y’all use them in? I can’t catch a bass with a spinnerbait to save my life, maybe an underspin can bridge the gap Quote

Shad Dart heads are really versatile. Quote

A buddy has it, but he lives over an hour away and it's just a huge issue with us being able to get our times to match Quote

The production mold similar is more bananmas shaped and weight is more in the bend instead of forward towards the eye of the hook 2 Quote
