Inline spinners / Rooser tails ?

[Bobo Greybeard]

Does anyone here make inline spinners? I have the mold to make them myself, but I am looking for a good place to buy the S-040 core shafts. Also, where would be a good place to pick up some of the other supplies needed to make them? I have been putting off launching this product in the shop, but now I just want to play around a little bit with it.


This is the type of spinner I am talking about.




Thanks,

Bobo

Fatman make's quite a few. I have seen the parts in Netcraft catalog also Lurepartsonline.com. Bound to be other places where you could buy bulk with better prices.

We make our own inline spinners like the heaver wire!!!The inline spinners we buy(rooster tails) just don't work (blade don't spin )Janns netcraft has good stuff!! Lure parts online has a little more even have a kit to get you started!!! Barlows has fast service and a good wire bender!!

Don't bother with the core shafts, one they cost too much. I traded for the ones I have and they really aren't long enough once poured to bend the loops in. I think its a .040 wire - I'll post some more tonight when I access to all my photo's and wire making products and I'll help you out.

Here ya go buddy!! This should get you started -

The wire shafts are .040 wire - you can buy a ½ coil of wire and make your own. I traded for mine and the wires came in some of them and not others so they get reused for powder painting. My final wire for forming the spinners is .030.

For my wire former I use an old Netcraft wire forming tool


The Worth hand formers for making in-line spinners are dangerous - they can snap the wire and it flies fast.


The front edge is really good though for forming beetle spin frames



The beads I get everywhere, watch the sale flyers for bead sales. The blades and clevis’s I get the majority of them from Hagens.

Here’s a few

If anyone is interested I am willing to trade some of my jig heads for either the wire forms or a partial roll of wire in sizes .040 and .031. I am wanting to play with this a little and see what it is about, without a large investment. If interested let me know.

Thanks folks,

The wire forming is interesting and like our other hobbies, well you know Doug those spinners look very good. I'm still using the two jig frames and they work just like planned
