    Default Well, I ordered spinner parts .


    I ordered some in-line spinner parts .
    Blades , bodies, Beads , wire, and clevis . I also ordered round needle nose pliers .
    I already have regular needle nose and dikes .
    I also found I can use my Dremel with a stone to grind the wire end smooth after cutting off the excess .
    I ordered a kit from Amazon and was about to order more , when I found better prices elsewhere , even with having to pay high shipping costs .
    Didn’t take long to add up to around $100 . LOL . That was what I was worn about .
    I could have bought about 20-25 Mepps for that . But they wouldn’t be exactly the way I would want them .

    I’ve built a couple , trying out an idea I had and it seems like it’s going to work .
    I’m using 1/16 tungsten worm weights, with a couple of beads for my main body .
    hope to try them out soon .
    I’ll let you know how they do.

    Here’s the four I’ve done so far .
    They look bigger than they actually are.
    Fished two of them today for about forty-five minutes without any takers .
    Put on a Trout Magnet and caught a small bass on my second cast .
    I think they needed something fished a little slower .
    Too cold to chase a spinner .

    You are well on your way to many beautiful baits. That is exactly the way I did it. I thought I was reliving my younger days. Keep them coming.
