I decided to make a single spin for the early season, so I made this. The trailer is rabbit fur which can be cut off if it's not the effective. The blade on the spinnerbait is a #5 willow with the option of switching them out as follows: Size 4.5 willows, 6, 5, 4 colorados. The snap on the bearing will give me a quick an easy change. I'm not crazy about the lead head, but it was given to me by a friend, so I figured I'd try it out. Whatcha think?

Looks good. Why don't you like the head?

Thanks for the kind posts guys, I certainly appreciate that. I was hoping to have a couple more to post yesterday along with this one, but I ended up with unexpected company. I probably should have waited. 

pondhopper, I'm just being skeptical. I don't mind working spinnerbaits right thru weeds and the head on this one is a little wider (you cant't really see it from the pic) than most spinnerbaits that I have built and used in the past. I'm hoping to get out there soon to try it out, maybe it will prove me wrong. 

Have you ever used copper blades?

I have and I like them. The only complaint I have with them is that they come in clear coated, otherwise they tarnish fast. Not a bad thing, but when that clear coat gets scratched up, they look hiddeous. JMHO. 

EDIT: Just came back from fishing this spinnerbait at the pond.

I did.
Air temps was 45* & water was COLD. We just iced out about 1 1/2 weeks ago and the water was very clear. I got to watch both strikes. 1 was caught on the #5 willow and 1 was caught on the #6 colorado. Wind was howling so I left after about 2 hours. I know this spinnerbait is a little off-the-wall, but that trailer really had nice action in the water. Worked yesterday anyway. I'll post some more generic one's in the future...LOL

yeah, me too!   

Nice oinker for sure Jf10!

wow, thats a dandy.  I need to go fishing!
