If you search underspin jigheads. All the different brands should pop up
I got some of the 1/32 roadrunners off of Amazon. Plus Richard Gene had a good video of cutting the weight down off of a 1/16th to make it a 1/32. I’ll post the video for you.

I field tested the prototype of the Fin Spin before it came out on the market. The plan was to produce a 1/32 with a #6 hook...which was the one I was used the most. They work great. You can buy these in a 1/32 from the Leland's Lure website...albeit the #6 hook did not make it into production models.Quote:

his jigs are WAY too pretty to put in the water , they are really artwork , makes a road runner style in whatever your heart desires and is well known for them in some circles .Quote:

and 1/32 are so light they tend to act squirrely and that aint fun ,a twisting bladed bait wont get many bites .
of course , this is just my sometimes humble opinion :crazy:
The Fin Spin will catch fish. But IMO is a poorly designed jig head because of the taper.
Soft plastics are a real pain with this head.
I won’t be buy any more unless they redesign or put aggressive keeper/ grippers on it.

They are not American Thumpers, they are Toad Thumpers, or at least that was what I found. He makes a 1/32nd with a #2 flat eye hook. He says they are designed to swim horizontal when long lining.
Very tricky to get a bladed jig to swim horizontal while long lining. Everything seems to work to give it a nose down orientation. I make multiple styles of bladed jigs for myself, and it requires a lot of attention to achieve a natural alignment. From the hook, to the knot, to the weight, to the plastic bait, and finally to the blade itself and how it is affixed, everything has to work together to achieve a horizontal pull at speeds suitable for long lining. Not saying his will not swim horizontal though, as I haven’t actually tried them. Besides, the fish still eat them even if they are nose down. LOL
I just stick with the Road Runner heads .... tried & true !!
junglejimjigs makes a variety of bladed jigs that work great including a spinner attached to hook itself that I have had a lot of success with. Only problem with his jigs? they look too much like artwork to actually use! LOL but since I bought a bunch of them feel better about using and had great success this spring wtih them.
lots of good information on different small spinning jigs and options as usual. Thanks guys.
link for them? didn't see it on site.Quote:

The Finspins work great and are priced decent.I've been ordering directly from the Crappie Magnet website.
I can’t find them in 1/4 oz., except one big box that wanted $4 each for them online. Trying to stick to Brad’s longlining chart using ponyheads.Quote:
