I just wanted to show you something that has finally come to fruition after finally finding some time for myself to make some inline spinners. I call it the ?Patriot? for reasons that should be obvious and I was inspired to make it to show in some small way how much I appreciate all this great nation of ours has given me.
As much as I want to keep it to use for myself, I will be sending it to someone in the state of CT tomorrow.
As bassers, we have so many lures at our disposal to catch our quarry that we forget about the simple but effective lures like spoons and spinners. This one should be good for bigger trout, bass, salmon, and maybe steelhead. Hope you like it and I hope the darn thing catches some fish for the recipient. In addition, a baitcast reel should not have any trouble tossing this lure. Thanks!
Lure Specs:
0.31" or 0.35" diameter wire (can't recall exactly)
1/4 oz Brass Cylindrical Body
Size 6 Brass French blade
Size 2 clevis
2 phosphorescent beads and 1 red bead
Size 4 Mustad Short Shank Triple Grip treble
Treble Dressings: Red, White, and Blue Bucktail, 3 yellow feathers, and lime green flashabou
Unfortunately, the white side is on the backside and can't be seen and neither can the flashabou.
