Fish Hawk hey can you let us know how strong is that wire that you use it for spinner does it have like a test pound something cuz I'm trying to make a spinner for saltwater fishing and what will be a wire good enough that will allow me to know what is the strength of the wire itself
Exactly what I needed!!! Thank you for taking your time to make this video. The split ring idea is great!!! I bought a kit on Amazon and I am getting ready to make some lures!!!
This is a super cool video! The face when you slide the bead on made me laugh though. The hand on chin exaggerated movement just cracked me up! Great demo!!
i made a working spinning lure from a paperclip, a soviner from london eye (you know theese things that are made from pressing a penny) and some pearls and some wire. Now that is an actual diy spinning lure
Great video. A couple of minor pointers....If you use your regular needle nose pliers and hold the loop you made so that the tag end you bend around the shaft is parallel to....and against the pliers, that will keep your loop nice and round and I find it makes it easier to get a nice tight wrap as well. Then as you add the split ring on you can also add the treble hook at the same time and save a step. Hope I explained that Ok. Good luck with the trout fishing.
Happy to see the WVU hat. I'm a SW PA native near the WV border, moved to the Pacific northwest and got into kokanee fishing. Don't trust the locals here when it comes to DIY projects (west coasters am I right?). Gave this a shot and I have the best spinners on the water here. Good ol boys get it done!
Some top water balsa wood lures, I like experimenting with different spinners on different lures. Aloso experimenting with a combo spinner/jerk bait combo. Also DIY gold spoon.
Nice lure building,spinners are one of the lures I love to build too. With those closed loop wire forms,I typically use the closed end as the bottom,where you attach the split ring and hook. I like to attach a barrel swivel to the top,when closing the wire,for eliminating line twist. I like using single siwash hooks instead of trebles,as it's annoying to get out all 3 hook points from a fishes face,and a single hook doesn't damage the fish as much. With the inline blades like on panther martins,you don't need a clevis.
If you live in a city with a "Fisherman's Marine and outdoor" you can pick up supplies for lures. And you can custom pic your colors and sizes in the store. Good video!
Awesome video can't wait for more trout videos you should also do a budget trout fishing video and you should try to make your own power bait keep it up almost 2000k
Thanks man can’t wait to build mine for this upcoming fall season. Could you please make a guide or something to show what parts make what size spinner. Like 1/32oz, 1/16, 1/8 etc.
I recently began building inline spinners for stream trout fishing. I highly recommend the Twistech wire bender! It will save your fingers, is time efficient, and produces professional inline spinners every time. I found this wire bender difficult to find in stock. I compared the TwisTech to many other wire benders with the TwisTech the clear winner. Before I bought the professional wire bender, I became very proficient building the inline spinners with an assortment of cutters, wire bending pliers, serrated and non-serrated pliers, and wire bending dental pliers. This experience has led me to appreciate the TwisTech, for one can build spinners in about a minute with consistent, professional results with no stress on your fingers. I de-barb all of my hooks and have learned that open-eye Siwash single hooks are the very best for cathch and release fishing. I pinch the barbs flat, enjoy quick releases leaving the fish in the water, with no danger of removing the protective slime, squeezing the fishes organs, gill hooking, tongue hooking, or foul hooking the trout. I also have learned that there is no difference in hooking and landing the trout consistently. I have learned that it is also quite important to avoid too large hooks depending on the size and species of trout in the stream or river. I've enjoyed your videos and look forward to more. Ron, NE Iowa.
Wv fishing is like no other fishing because theirs so many species of of different body's of water such as lakes resewars rivers ponds streams and you can catch so much fish all year round
The initial cost is higher. I spent $31 on all the parts. But it will make about 20 spinners. That comes out to $1.55 per spinner. You could do it cheaper if you got some cheaper parts. I bought some nice Berkley Fusion hooks. That was the most expensive part.
Hey man, I've been wanting to know where to find that color of inline spinner BODY. I can't find them anywhere. Just wanting to make my own white rooster tails but I can't find that style really anywhere in stock.. Any suggestions?
Think there will be much difference from not having the bundle of hair covering the hook? Maybe you could do a face off of your lures vs rooster tails once you get on the trout
I thought about that. I tried buying dressed treble hooks that had the hair on them already. Then I thought about adding it on my own. I could try doing a face off to see if it makes a difference. I think it would be tough though.
What really is being practical, would be the question? I have a hard time not wanting to build things. Bury myself into all sorts of hobbies. Problem with lures, unless you are going to sell them. Or one is just careless and loose them all the time. Sure! It truly sucks to fork out $4 - $8 for a single lure. BUT! When one has to buy, 50-100' of wire, 50-100 spinner blades, 100-200 spinner clevises, 50-100 weight's/ bodies, 50-100 hooks, beads and the remaining frills. One can build up a lot of lures indeed. Lots of money invested. Problem comes with what do you do with all of them. I have 2 of my very favorites. Use them mostly every time fishing, and fishing fairly often. I have had my 2 for 40 years. I did just purchase another one. Due to fresh paint and shiner spinner. Although it really wasn't at all necessary. I did have to re-tie some fresh bucktail on my older ones. Even that wasn't totally necessary. This same spinner can be purchased without bucktail. Maybe the fish don't care. I caught them on both bare hook spinners, just as bucktail ones. Who it the bucktail for????? Me or the fish???? It doesn't seem it's for the fish. Lots of new gimmicks out there today. Mostly expensive ones. I guess the fish also didn't get the memo, that they are supposed to quit biting the old vintage style spinners. Put all focus on new style High $$$$ ones. It seems the fish still don't care!
I saw in one of the comments below that you had a cost of $1.55 per spinner. That's like half of what a roostertail would normally cost. I'll bookmark that website. I lose a lot of roostertails. And midwest finesse jigs. There are molds available for those, but it's a higher initial cost. You have to get a melting pot and lead, plus hooks on top of the mold.
@@FishHawk Nice video, I almost exclusively use rooster tails and always wanted to make my own. If the loops in the wire aren't straight, do they track funky? Or the blades stick?
I never thought about making my own trout spinners. This is definitely a cheaper route than buying them in store. I do have a few questions: 1) Did you catch any trout on the lures that you made? 2) Do you feel it caught similar amount of trout as the store bought ones? 3) Have you, or anyone that you know, ever tried painting them with "lure paint"? I ask the third question because I live in Colorado and the fish generally hit Red colored spinners and Red colored bodies are not as easy to find in mass quantities online.
Honestly, I haven't fished with them very much. I will start using them more often this coming winter/spring. I assume they will catch the same amount of fish. I don't think there will be any difference in performance. I have not tried painting them but I'm sure you could. I believe you can buy plain un-painted lure bodies.
Cant understand why you do it so hard and why you do it the reverse way - compared to all others You have a big ugly loop in the hook end. Why teach others to do it the wrong way.
I didnt like this video because you were never close enough to your product for me to figure out what you were making. You lost me at clevis and never got me back. I was so disappointing because I wanted to see how to make them. Get right up against it next time!
@@FishHawkmaybe its just the rivers or areas i fish. But the fish here dont really bite them. I fished countless 10hours days all this summer. Using spinn bait. The amount of time i spent messing with those useless things, i could have caught so much more fish with baiting. But instead for all my hard work i caught 1 fish. Like i said maybe its just where im at and the fish dont really seem to touch spinners here. Or at least for me.
@@l3athalsubzero649 I understand where you're comin from. What part of the world do you fish? Here in the eastern United States they work great. Some baits just don't work everywhere. You probably have baits/lures that don't work well in my area.
@@FishHawk i live in utah, and fish mainly the rivers close to me, the weber river, and the ogden river which feeds into the weber. Most of my troat fishing is done on the ogden river as it 5mins away from my house. But i have about 100 spinners. Panther martins, roosters tails, rapalas you name it. Just for me they never get fish. Id catch a troat with a piece of hot dog before spinn bait, and have lol
Maybe im doing it wrong idk, ive watch lots of video, wondering why i can never get fish with them, i seem to do everything everyone else is doing and using. But no fish
Who else is ready for some Trout fishing!?!
Fish Hawk me I haven’t went all year
Fish Hawk yeah!!!!
Fish Hawk hey can you let us know how strong is that wire that you use it for spinner does it have like a test pound something cuz I'm trying to make a spinner for saltwater fishing and what will be a wire good enough that will allow me to know what is the strength of the wire itself
It's that time of year again!
Exactly why my dad started, he wanted to feel good he made something that could catch fish, just his own design, he didnt even intend on a business
Exactly what I needed!!! Thank you for taking your time to make this video. The split ring idea is great!!! I bought a kit on Amazon and I am getting ready to make some lures!!!
This is a super cool video! The face when you slide the bead on made me laugh though. The hand on chin exaggerated movement just cracked me up! Great demo!!
LOL that's hilarious 😂 thanks man! I appreciate it!
Hemmed and hawed on doing something like this. Thanks Fish Hawk. You made it look easy.
The split ring makes sense i also feel like it has a bit more play to move and I like that
i made a working spinning lure from a paperclip, a soviner from london eye (you know theese things that are made from pressing a penny) and some pearls and some wire. Now that is an actual diy spinning lure
that's cool!
Thanks you😃 yours too
Very helpful and enjoyble! Thank you very much! there is only one thing that i love more then fishing that is a crafting some useful things!
hey,from where you buy those things?
Thanks for this. I will be ordering the parts with the links provided, something me and my 8 year old grandson can do together on a rainy day.
That's great! Start them young. Thanks for watching!
Very helpful thanks for the video tips
Been fly fishing most of my life but now with your video I am eager to start spinner fishing instead....great video "thanks"...
Nice! I've only been spinner fishing but I'm thinking about getting into fly fishing. Thanks for watching!
I see the WV hat! My family is in Webster county! Great video!
Man I can’t wait to go fishing 🎣 ..this video is what’s it’s all about great job sir..
Thanks man! Good luck out there!

Hello what web site did u go to to purchase this stuff I’m very interested ty
Thank you so much. This was so helpful. Me and my friend are gonna start making our own and selling them
Awesome! Glad it helped. Good luck!
What website can I get the parts to create my own?
Hey fishhawk fishgrub spinners has a kit on eBay pretty sweet.
Awesome! Might have to check it out!

I've been trying flies and such for 2-3 years now. Rapala makes an ok set of pliers but I got mine from harbor freight for a lot less.
Planning a trip in April. Maybe we’ll see you on the Cherry or Cranberry
just ordered materials to start making my own trout lures....thanks for the info!.....and i see your from wv.!
LGM !!!!
This looks fun!
dang that outro slaps!! awesome video!
Turned out really nice. I like making lures to.
Thanks! It's a lot of fun! What kind do you make?
Some top water balsa wood lures, I like experimenting with different spinners on different lures.
Aloso experimenting with a combo spinner/jerk bait combo. Also DIY gold spoon.
Sounds awesome! The balsa wood lures would be a lot of fun. Might have to try them out sometime.

sgtpavlov sounds great! Thanks for the info and tips! I am going to look into those siwash hooks.
Swivel is a lifesaver
If you live in a city with a "Fisherman's Marine and outdoor" you can pick up supplies for lures. And you can custom pic your colors and sizes in the store.
Good video!
For me it's hard to picture sizes and fractional ounces on the interweb so seeing them in person really helps.
Great video, just what I was trying to figure out.
Thank you!
great job mate you made it look real easy.
Awesome video can't wait for more trout videos you should also do a budget trout fishing video and you should try to make your own power bait keep it up almost 2000k
Good ideas! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the info going online cause this loss in lures is hurtin the pockets. Taking pride sounds good
For sure!
BEST FISHING RUclipsR EVER!
easy job bro thanks for the video.
Great video .very helpful
Hell thanks for showing me the split ring I was doing it the hard way.
No prob! Thanks for watching!
Wow thanks! it really helped!
Good job.
Thanks man can’t wait to build mine for this upcoming fall season. Could you please make a guide or something to show what parts make what size spinner. Like 1/32oz, 1/16, 1/8 etc.

I wonder if you could pick up parts for these at like Hobbie Lobby or other craft stores?
great video
Since were in quarantine you should repost old videos like this bc im bored as hell but packages will still come
Any idea in cost per lure to make these? I’m going to make these either way just curious if I can justify it by cost savings lol
Thanks this was a help
Looks like fun!
Is it cheaper to make these with that kit or buying them at walmart? And if so buy how much?
Hey bud i make flies for bluegill and bass can also fo catfish
That's awesome!
what’s the weight of the one you just made you thing?
I make these a lot. What can I use these to catch? I don’t fish trout. Anything else bite them?
for sure. today I caught crappie, bluegill and largemouth bass on an inline spinner :)
Fish Hawk nice! Thanks
But is it cheaper then buying the non completes then the complete rostertails

Lure paint.
you should post a link with the individual parts
You should really get a mtb trout edition. I got one and I don't regret it.lol
I might try it some day
Really recommend
That’s nice good job!
Thanks bud!
What is the diameter of the wire
nice job
im gonna start making my own lures and start selling them!!!!!!!
Awesome buddy!
Thanks buddy!
Your welcome!
Think there will be much difference from not having the bundle of hair covering the hook? Maybe you could do a face off of your lures vs rooster tails once you get on the trout
I dont think it would be hard to add that to your homemade lures tho. Just get a fly vice and a wrapping tool
I thought about that. I tried buying dressed treble hooks that had the hair on them already. Then I thought about adding it on my own. I could try doing a face off to see if it makes a difference. I think it would be tough though.
I might look into that. I do really like the added hair. I think it gives it a little something extra.
If you do more minnow trapping videos can you try cheese and garlic plz

So now make a couple more in different colors, and do a video testing them out.
This is just assembling of a spinner. Can't you make a spinner with household things?
True. You can make one from household items. I may do that in a future video. Thanks for watching!
Almost a 2000 subs
I've been out a few times the rainbows are small and the brookies smaller, guess they will grow. catching them on Orange Trout Magnet.
Hope they grow! Or stock bigger ones! Trout Magnets are killer. Keep up the good work and thanks for watching!
1000th like w00t!
you actually want to put a bead before you put the cleavas.
I did lol
👍
Where does Netcraft make their products? China?
What’s up everyone
Hey Rapid Outdoors!
Hi
Hey Ryan!
Are you going to do any fly fishing for trout this summer
Probably. I don't really fly fish but I am going to try this summer.
I tried fly fishing at the end of summer last year and caught a brown trout on the hairs ear fly
Supeerrr

You lose need a bead near the first eye.
lol why? no big spinner makers put a bead above the blade
Music, nope.
U said Rapala wrong
there's about 3 different pronunciations of it. No matter how I say it, someone will comment and say "you're saying it wrong". I can't win lol
Cant understand why you do it so hard and why you do it the reverse way - compared to all others
You have a big ugly loop in the hook end.
Why teach others to do it the wrong way.
