First Attempt As Handmade Spinners

[mic]

I started small because I never find any that I like. The inlines without a metal body are for me to play around with on my fly rod.

Are the pieces of pink shrink wrap so you can add feathers?

[mic]

They are actually red. No they are just supposed to be an attractor.

With them slid down over the shaft of the hook will they allow for positive hooksets?

The color is really secondary as far as attractant goes, its the technique and spinner blade that does it. Your imitating a fish with all the spinners such as those in the picture. I was fishing with a friend with buzz baits not long ago and the skirt on the spinner was rotted and fell off. He just kept fishing it and caught fish the same as if it was there. I used to make single, twin and buzz spinners. I looked for high quality materials such as ball bearing swivels etc.

Yea, it is a soft material.

I read last night that someone makes clear plastic spinners for ultra clear water. You get the vibration but less flash.

They look good Mic. Panfish and trout should eat them up.
