Well I don't know what I am looking at I guess, but it looks just fine. I don't see what you are pointing out. Did he make the heads?

Yea,he poured them and I had to tye them and put them together,lol.I love them heads.
looks like a bass spinner
They really look good and bet they will work as well too.

do they spin circles or do they swim straight? i have a hard time for them to go straight and not turn
I like it,big crappie will eat bass spinnerbaits and that looks like a smaller spinnerbait,perfect for crappie
I can assure you that they work on big crappie. My court of last resort on a tuff day. If I don't catch one on a small spinner bait I fold my tent and go home.
That particular head is 1/10 th of an ounce. I am expiermenting with this head also. Bout ready to try mold I configured with JB weld. Only question is will JB take the heat. The JB was formed around head then set into regular spinner bait mold. After some filing and scraping I am about ready to try a pour.
Hays I think jb weld claims up to 600 degrees on their stuff. So pour those suckers as cool as you can.
very nice spinner.
This aint a "bass" spinnerbait,lol,How dare you all.It's a crappie spinnerbait.I'll tell you all how it works next Monday.The crappie are in full spawn mode here,I'm just covering all my bases,.I need a forklift to put all these jigs in my boat,lol.
lol az
I don't understand. Are you trying to sell these??
i dont think he is
Sell them?,lol.I don't think I'm a jig salesman,unless I got about $20.00 a piece,lol.Just seeing what people thought of it,that's all.
i was thinking about that creation in an orange head...
Tried the JB weld doctored mold today and it put out a reasonable 1/10 th ounce spinnerbait. THey were a major pain pouring. If everything wasn't lined up perfect the lead poured out the bottom of mold.
Used Rondon's original as a pattern. I used to make my own mini spinner baits off blanks bought from old machinist. Old Pat dabbled in making and selling lures to local bait shops. He disliked selling in small quantities. He made all these custom made molds at work using Do-It blanks. After he died his molds disappeared , I think his daughters , not knowing what they were threw them away.
For years I made the last ones do until my tackle box was stolen out of my garage with my last dozen or so. That was back in the mid 1980's and I have done without ever since. When I seen Rondons pic awhile back of his little spinnerbait it made my day.
Will post pics of what I tied and a big public thanks to Rondon. Still working on the wire measurements for my final creation but you all will get general idea.
They look good
