I have been making some in-line spinners lately and have trouble keeping the blade spinning. I used a metal bead above and below the stirrup as a bearing and when casting I give it a jerk to start the blade spinning but then it often stops during the retrieve. That is exactly what I was trying to avoid by making my own in-line spinner baits. I was using a hammered colorado blade that is about 7/8ths of an inch long. Could the spinner blade possibly be too small? I would like suggestions from anyone with experience in making in-line spinners. Thanks for any suggestions.
