In-Line spinners?

**Fatman** · 12-22-2009, 09:58 PM

The only time I had problems with bent wires was when I first started fishing them and bought the cheap ones. Now that I make my own I make sure to use .028 to .030 wire it's a bit stiffer and I really prefer the folded clevis's to the stirrups. They just seem to spin better, I save the stirrup clevis's for spinnerbaits.

Hi .. had to add to this .. just got around to it.

Attached photos ... I made the ones in the pic of 2.. top one I made back in about 1961 and had it on the market for a couple of years (the one in photo was made in 62 note the legs are off of the spider) first ones were with a brass body .. had a hard time getting them and went to the lead body .. all with "French Type" Blade ... The 2nd picture is of the "Thing" they came out with it the same year that I came out with the BrimKiller 100 .. they used some good advertising and had distribution (I later worked for them for about 13 years as a salesman) When the went out of businessm (1988) I bought all of the spiders (crickets) and make the bottom one in the 1st picture.

Have caught a lot of "Brim" on them.

Just a little trivia

I've had good luck with 1/16 oz Rooster Tail Spinners in White or Chartreuse.

Mepps anglia #2 w/gold blade and a mepps #2 orange belle inline are the ticket

steve, i still use them from time to time. still have a bunch and still buy them once in a while. size 0 and 1 have been deadly on gills from time to time. i used the bigger sizes for walleye, smalllmouth and largemouth, tipped with pork rind strips or crawlers. (long time gone:-( )

i mostly use berkley powerbaits,and other brand plastic artificials.sometimes i throw small crankbaits but its mostly plastics i use.i don't use live baits anymore.i catch stuff on artificials and i am happy with that.one time i out fished somebody using live bait.they were fishing live worms under a float,i was throwing a tiny lunker city fins shad on a hook with no weight.i was pulling crappie out left n right.the kid using the worms didn't get anything!he was throwing his float right next to where i was fishing.i rarely throw any kind of spinners,maybe i should try em sometime.
