I have been fishing with some form of spinners my entire fishing career. My Idaho fishing family taught me to fish for stream trout with spinner and worms while I was just a kid. After I began tying my own flies, I replaced the bait hooks on spinners with flies…and they worked. Later, after I started pouring lead head jigs, I found ways to add beads and blades to them too. And they worked.
Over the years I have developed a variety of unique lures…with blades and beads…that have proven very attractive to many species on many waters. At least the fish in Utah vote for them often enough to keep me and a few fishing buddies happy.
A big part of making spinner-adorned lures is knowing how to work with wire. A lot of would-be spinner makers and users never give it a try because they think you have to spend a lot of money on a high-priced wire bending tool that takes an engineering degree to operate. Not so.
In my video I show many repetitions of the simple but perfect bends and loops you can make using only a pair of round-nosed pliers. Of course you need wire cutters and a couple of other simple and inexpensive tools. But the bottom line is that almost anybody can start turning out their own custom stuff with a minimum of investment and a bit of practice.
There are step by step instructions in the video on how to make some of my better creations. And at the end there are several minutes of fish porn…naked fish pictures with some of these trinkets hanging out of their mouths.
This video took me a couple of weeks of organizing and shooting to put it together. The whole video is an hour and a half long. Definitely a must see for masochists. I apologize to anyone who can’t stay awake that long. And I’m sorry I don’t provide popcorn.
If anybody wants to get started making their own spinner lures, I will be happy to give them one-on-one demos…and provide them with my best sources for the few materials needed.
