I make my own baits for all fish. If I can't catch crappie on them, that's OK.

trypman1 .....After over 50 years of fishing inline spinners for everything from panfish to trout and musky I know what I want and what will work. My limitations are my skill level and access to the materials. The problem I am currently working on is using dressed single hooks. The eye on a single hook is too small to work reliably as it tends to twist out of line to often when cast but when they don't twist they will keep up with anything factory made. I believe the answer is using siwash hooks because of the larger eye. When the snow flies I will attack this problem. Till then I have plenty of rigs to do parts salvaging.

Great looking jigs and spinners

I started using the VMC Inline trolling hooks, big eye and very strong. Check them out.

I have tied a lot of duds. The way I see it is: If they don't eat my baits, then they can just starve.

Cane Pole has it figured out!
