How to make a jig spinner in easy steps Both PDFs below have American and Metric Sizes Link to PDFs List of Tools and Materials and Drawings homeluremaking....
Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit ruclips.net/user/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.
i tested the locking system by attaching it to a heavy duty snap link and bench that is bolted to ground. I placed a bar through the hook bend and applied some of my natural body weight in a jerky motion. I think i am a little larger than record musky and they don't wear shoes. What happened is the hook straightened or broke. If anything the next weakest place after the hook is the hitch point but this is all far outside what my rod or line could handle. But pike are clever buggers. Cheers
Thank you for the great tutorial and instructions. I was looking at a spinner I bought from Walmart and thought, “I can actually make this thing myself.” Googled something relating to DIY spinnerbait and landed here. Might give it a try soon.
You really make it look so easy , ...I would never have thought about using a table spoon as a die ! But I'm not a great fan of these simple snap locks securing the leadhead , though I think , yours would be pretty much reliable with that thick wire . I've had issues with commercial jigspinner snap locks before , made of about 0,4mm wire , ...since I tend to make more elaborate , but extremely reliable coil spring locks to my own jig spinners . Great "how-to" vid , ...cheers , 61diemai
great tutorial Mr adams personally i would have made the locking system little bit more secure with couple more bends, but as it is it should be adequate for perch and other smaller species.
Guy that gave you the 5.8 must have been from Scotland. Nice video as they all are. I made some inline spinners for pike today using your blade making method. Have a nice day.
Hi Paul! I really love your tutorials. But there is another reason you should think about fixing the lure to the spinnerbait arm. Because if the arm is stable, its a better cover for the hook. You can throw your spinnerbait directly into the reed and its moving his way out of it hand over hand. Greets
Hey mate, I don't see the links to the blog or PDFs in the info section. You make it look so easy, I might have to give this ago, just make them a bit bigger. I have a bunch of wire laying around from making the sand eels. Great how to Paul.
.4mm does seem a bit thin, i used think that bought fishing lures where always made better, yesterday at the lake a guy showed me a abs plastic wobbler that had lost its back hook and wire to snag, a little later i pulled in a balsa lure i had lost over a month ago at it was undamaged by long soak. But all that said i tend to loose my lure to trees more than anything, i should by a chainsaw, Cheers
awesome, i wish someday i could catch some pike too.... because here, in indonesia fish like that will not gonna survive, because of it's tropical climate.... :)
Man they make the same type of lures like these here in Texas called "redfish killers" that are 6 dollars a lure, not anymore for me! Not after watching this video, thanks man!
Happened to me in terms of a snag , that the previously mentioned snap lock on that commercial , thin-wired jig spinner opened , ..thought to myself , that it might happen with a better pike as well , ......0,4mm wire really does not offer that much resistance , I guess ?
Nicely done, thank you. Interesting accent, where are you from? Obviously from England, but I understand the accent is different in different areas. Thanks.
like a knot this is self tightening, so a if a big fish takes it should tighten down and there is more than good chance that the main fishing line is going to snap long before that happens
if i went into my local tackle shop and asked for a jig spinner,Bob the guy who owns it would do and dance and turn round, but i would still have to make my own, thanks

I found this video, and you to be amazing! I lost it a few years ago and found it again. It's now saved. JUST WOW!

Your vids combines with some wholesale lure making parts are gonna save me tons of money
Dear Paul,
You are a master and a genius of handmade fishing things.
Thank you very much for teaching me.
Greetings from Argentina.

Good, I liked it because needed few tools. Congrats.
Thanks 👍

give it a go,i have used the wire from extra large paperclips for other lure projects

Great video- Nice Jig Setup - I wondered how they bevelled the spinner - Thank you!
Easy to follow etc.........brilliant !!!
Brilliant video again Paul, Very inspirational. Please keep them coming, Ive enjoyed all of your spinnerbait vids :)
Wow u make really good tutorials and lures😊
Great videos! Thank you for including US sizes.
TheCarDoc They were English sizes before we went metric, i still buy timber by asking for 3"x2" in metric lengths like 3mtr
I always worry about links on lure, i have never lost a lure to a poor link my knots tend to fail first.
Thanks Again Paul Adams
Very detailed video, so appreciate good job. Thanks!!!
Oh man I love your videos!
Great job. Thanks for sharing!
Adil Chakir can you make a poper for pick
And saltwatr
a few taps huh?!u really hammered tht thing
hey paul, that's a nice lure... what fish did you catch with it???
TheBronxQ I generally only ever catch pike with these
awesome, i wish someday i could catch some pike too.... because here, in indonesia fish like that will not gonna survive, because of it's tropical climate.... :)
Man they make the same type of lures like these here in Texas called "redfish killers" that are 6 dollars a lure, not anymore for me! Not after watching this video, thanks man!
Great video mate, really helpful!
Merci beaucoup, très bien expliqué :)
Great video! i'll make some for fishinging catfish , thank U
Thank you very much for teaching ,
Sorry Brian i have posted the links up, good luck and cheers
nicely done mate...
Paul no intention of making some salt water metal lures ( jigs )?, that would be awsome ;)
you are a professional
Amazing video. Thanks.
hi paul i like what you do just i question. can use it in the sea? thx
it is not something i have ever tried b ut it may work
if you're making colorado blades for spinners (not spinnerbaits) keep them sharp because they help chop through most light weeds underwater:p
I can do it with the same diameter copper?..............(your first video I saw on youtube is to transform a brush on a lure is great)
Thanks, i think copper may be a bit soft and would need repairing too often
Happened to me in terms of a snag , that the previously mentioned snap lock on that commercial , thin-wired jig spinner opened , ..thought to myself , that it might happen with a better pike as well , ......0,4mm wire really does not offer that much resistance , I guess ?
Nicely done, thank you.
Interesting accent, where are you from? Obviously from England, but I understand the accent is different in different areas. Thanks.
I am from Liverpool, home of the Beatles but i have moved around a bit
Would that wire bend for attaching the jig stand up to salmon/steelhead?
like a knot this is self tightening, so a if a big fish takes it should tighten down and there is more than good chance that the main fishing line is going to snap long before that happens
Very Nice idea to fold the wire
A pdf is document you can download and print, if you follow the link in the description it will take you to my blog and the pdf
Very nice... Thanks for share.
Would the use of round nose pliers be good to bend wire?
yes
Where can I buy the metal plate? I can only found steel plates... and them aren't really workable (._.)'
Very nice!
como chama a placa de metal que vc usa, abraços....
Great work!, to download your pdf in scribd with a free account i need to pay $8.99
(24 hours of access). is this normal?
It seems they have started charging, i am going to have to remove them from scribd e-mail me paulpadam@aol.com and i will send the templates.
Barlows Tackle A US company keep straight wire in Stainless 0.040" x 8" their code 430171
Where can i buy the wire? Do you think they sell it at walmart?
i am not sure we do not have wallmart over in the uk, but i think lureparts, mudhole may be worth a try over there
Lol Americans thinking they can find ANYTHING at walmart. Try your local plumbers shop or hardware store.
very cool!
Nice, Paul.....but I just buy the spinner arms two to a package from the store. And, I rig plastic worms this way. Just sayin." Be good.~
if i went into my local tackle shop and asked for a jig spinner,Bob the guy who owns it would do and dance and turn round, but i would still have to make my own, thanks
***** LOL!!!!~
Hi, thank's for your video (y) :D
What type of metal did you use for make your spin' ?
Flo' ( french fisher )
Florian Jousset if you follow the link in the video description it takes you to a list of tools and materials, thanks
***** Sorry, I haven't seen
Can I use a paper clip? Cause I can't find wire
think I'll give that a shot
Can you fish this saltwater
Merci
