What no paint ? My old friend that made Bass Spinner baits back in the 1980's used unpainted. Heck he said the paint was just for catching fishermen. He did often clear coat lead on spinners. Looks good.
Very nice! Looks like you are making those yourself.
Those will catch a fish.
Nice.
Those look great Jackie!
They should be great for shooting docks.
Let us know how they work Jackie.
where did you get the mold? i like pouring my own stuff ,too
The Guy that ran the Lake Dardanelle boat dock showed Us this trick!!! Back in the early 80's!! Do-it molds!! Lurepartsonline!!They have a handy chart shows size of wire,hooks,blades swivels ect!!!Quote:

Any brand tube will work with these. Pick your own poison. Just thought someone might be interested in buying some spinners for their favorite brand of tubes.

The spinners come in gold or silver. I've added a 1/8th ounce Arkie Jig Head in green/chartreuse with an Arkie Pro Tube in green/chartreuse on the gold blade and on the silver blade I have and unpainted minnow style head in 1/8th ounce with an Arkie Pro Tube in blue/clear with sparkle. With the clip design I can swap heads quickly.
I left 2 of the spinners blank. One thing I do when trolling (spider rigging) is to put one of these on and just add the crappie hook of my choice which is usually a standard gold aberdeen hook and put a minnow on it.. This is a good bet when the water warms above 50 degrees and the fish are actively chasing baits. In the cooler water, add that set up or one with a jig to your jig pole and fish it in the brush the way you would a spoon. Lift the rod tip a foot or so and allow the bait to fall slowly which allows the blade to slowly turn.
That's a couple of more options you can put in your arsenal of tactics and hopefully it will put a few more crappie in your box.
Jackie, you better be careful with those spinners over on Greers. Between the white bass and the walleye, your gonna get your arm broke draggin those around!!:fish
It's been a few years since I used spinners for crappie. I can remember catching a ton of fish on them I some reservoirs I have fished. Kinda went by the wayside once I learned spidering. Thanks for showing off your baits and methods.
Love me some Southern Pro as well.:cheers2:highfive:fishQuote:

One of my first crappies was caught on an purple beetle spin on lake Conway back in the day. I was about 12 years old and fishing with my neighbor in his boat.
