Alternate method doubleblade spinnerbait
|
| |
| I have an alternate method of keeping the lower blade away from the top blade on an L shaped spinnerbait. Eliminates the need of spacer tubing. Slide the cleviced bottom blade down the shaft. Next slide a bead on the shaft, of which the hole is minimally larger than the shaft diametor. Snug is better, but not critical. Then bend a 90 degree, tight turn in the wire shaft slightly above where you want the lower blade to be. About halfway up the shaft is good. This turn should be turned towards the hook, or back of the lure. Don't turn this 90 away from the hook. It would be a bad place for scum to gather. hopefully the bead cannot make the turn. [Important]. Slide another bead down the shaft, leaving it as close to the first bead as possible. Hopefully, the second bead won't be able to make the 90 degree turn down the shaft. Up, past the second bead turn a tight 90 bend up, making the entire shaft parralel, but offset. Finish the top blade arrangement as per normal. If you use a SNAPswivel, you have the option of changing the top blade per fishing conditions. This option gives you a wider range of spinnerbait combos. Has worked well for me. Say! When we gonna' get a member's photo page? A picture is worth a buncha' words.

on February 15, 2010 @ 9:23 am Hey, for those of you who line-tie directly to the lure hook eye, I have a suggestion for you. [Might save a big bass for you]. Use a small dab of epoxy at the back of the eye, right where the sharp edges of the end of the eye are. Eye are? Shouldn't that be, 'I am'? Anyway, same thing where you made your top of spinnerbait loop. I've thrown several blades & swivels away on the very first cast with a new, home-made spinnerbait.
on May 20, 2010 @ 3:19 am For those of you who have a lathe, & want to turn your own lure bodies: Lowes has poplar dowel rods in a variety of diameters, 1/2" up to about 1 1/2". Poplar is a VERY good wood for lure making
Also, an alternate to the Stamina or Jann's Netcraft stick-on eyes is some stickers I found at Michael's Craft Stores. They are Stampendous, autocollants, class a' peel stickers. They make a huge variety of stickers, but you will be looking for a strip of round dots, only. I have gold & red center, gold edge. Each strip, or packet comes with a variety of about 5 different diameters. Looks to me to be 1/16" up to about 5/16". AND, you can trust the adhesiveness of these stickers. Best way to get them off of the strip, & in place on the lure is a very fine tip awl. Slip the point of the awl under the edge of the eye, using just enough of the awl tip to make the eye stick to it. As you apply the 2'nd eye, try to prevent it from lying down all the way on the lure surface. Make sure you have it as accurately in position as possible before you mash it into final position. The glue on these stickers is such that you WON'T move, or slide it. As you try to lift one edge, you will mess up the edge. you'll have to use a new sticker.
Another eye sticker suggestion, especially for larger lures is Creativity Street, Scrapbookin' Kids, Peel & Stick Gemstones - Circles, stock No. 1644. I don't trust the backing on these stickers. I use a forstner bit of appropriate size, & l the lure till I have a
Does anyone have a method to reproduce the plastic, amber- 1/32" to 1/16" edge depth. I seal with polyacrylic; I don't know how other finishes might affect the stickers.

on May 20, 2010 @ 3:35 am Does anyone have a gestion or method of how I might be able to reproduce the plastic, amber-colored, conical Heddon eyes that were attached to the lure by use of a brad?
