    Well I guess that blade should help you make a slower retrieve with them.

    Clean looking rig for sure!

    Z.... Excellent looking spinners. Anything that swims just has to at least come and take a look then the fur & feathers complete the deal. Do you cast your own bodies? If you do is it much trouble?

    I have the mold and have cast hundred of them quite a few years ago. It is a very easy mold to cast with. Do-It mold.

    Those look different. I make a regular spinner but instead of a using a plain hook I use a trout fly. Do the ones with a weighted jig still have good blade spin? Great idea.👍👍

    Very much so. They spin as at a fairly slow retrieve speed. You have to match the blade size to weight. My blades above were size 0, 1 and 2. To big of a blade will effect how easily it spins. I've done a lot of testing on this. Clevis size also makes a difference.

    Make a lot of spinners! The swiss swings if you can find them work great!! I've got a lot of vintage spinner blades that work very well!!
