Is anyone making spinnerbaits here?
If so do you pour your own bodies or can you buy them someplace?
Do you just cut down skirts made for bass lures?
Thanks

Check with RonDon. I have some he made so I know he did make them at some point. He didn't cut down Bass Baits for them either.
Skip I know you don't know what is happening with Rondon his website is completely gone off the Internet I cannot make any contact with him I have posted on several different sites asking about him I'm also sending a personal letter to him today to see if I get a response I've also sent him a personal email and have not heard anything yet I will let everybody know about him if I hear something if anybody else knows how to contact him personally would you please do so and get back to me or post it on crappie.com.Quote:

I sure hope all is OK with him.
I was thinking about trying to make she and was just looking for some mentoring if it was available.
Thay don't seem too popular so maybe they don't work all that well.
thank you Skip I posted on the main board asking about him that is quite a while back since she's been on here I hope and pray for him.Quote:

I also have some I got from RonDon several years back and still have a good many I still need to paint and tie. I am just not very good at using this wire bending thing I have, but have not tried it much and need to jus get some scrap wire to practice on.

no problems We used to make up a lot of salmon and steelhead spinners I may even pain up a few blades and post them as rainbow was a favorite of the salmon fisherman here in Oregon don't know how they would work on walleye or anything else but they are super bright in the water we did some up the other day for a guy in Washington state we use powder paint and put them in the oven and killed them they come out diamond hard and they look terrific.Quote:

What type of eye are you trying to make? Depending on what you're doing I may be able to bend and take some pics to help you out.
I have the Hagen's Pro Wire Former. I have only tried it a few time in the over 1 year I have had it, LOL!
I used to use a wire former but I don't anymore I used junior players which are around on the nose of both sides so you could wrap the wire and make a loop little hairy to get used to but they were a lot faster for me to use.
I have the Hagen's tool also.
It is excellent and easy to use.
Makes very repeatable loop twists.
Lot of scratch not to play with a former like that!!!!!!!!
Yes and I need to take the time to get better with it. Shame on me for sure!!!
