They really shine when the males are on bed

I have a question Spoonminnow, if you don't mind...are you using a wire jig former to make the safety pin part or using one already made up and re-working it? Thanks ahead of time. Eric.

A funny thing happened yesterday:
The Beetle Spin was hanging over the side in the water while I was fishing with another rod and a 5" bass hooked itself on it. That's a first!

Haha, now you just need them to jump in boat!

Hi Eric,
I've been using AFW wire for years to make in-line spinners.


.020 diameter/ 58# test wire is the easiest to work with for making B.Spins but still thinner
than the original wire. 2 - thin needle nose pliers are a must in order to bend 3 small loops, along
with strong, sharp wire cutters for close cuts. (40# test might also work and easier to bend.)

Thank you for sharing Spoonminnow. Looks like I have another hobby to start if I ever catch up on some of the work and things I got going on around here now. Going 10 directions isn't good. Trying one direction at a time till I'm caught up...

I’ve been assembling my own from ordered parts and painting a few of my own jigheads.
A 1/16 oz jighead w/ barb collar onto a bulk-ordered spinner/ arm. I’ve been enjoying the BG Shad Swim’r in Blue Thunder and Candy Cricket colors.
I tried to post a pic but no go.
