Development mode shifted into high gear today after what has been the coldest and snowiest winter I've had to endure in some time. Sat down at the bench and decided not to paint any jig heads. Rather, I wanted to design and tie a spinnerbait, namely a twin spin.
Materials:
- Eagle Claw 249WA-3/0 Weedless Hook
- Yellow craft fur from bolt
- Herrschners Bulky Chenille #5 - purple
- Feathercraft 7/32" Painted Lead Dumbbell Eyes - yellow/black
- Michaels Bright Wonder Beads - fuschia/violet
- Two hammered #1 Colorado blades - gold
- Cousins Basics Coated Beading Wire 0.3mm, 7 strand - silver
- Barrel swivels and split rings (2 of each)
- Bullet Weights 1/8-oz. Rubber Grip Sinker
- Coats & Clark Trilobal Polyester Embroidery Thread 40-wt. - electric violet
- Danville Flymaster Plus Thread (140 denier) - fluorescent yellow
The spinnerbait's arms will bend back when the lure is retrieved. The entire blade assembly spins beyond the hook bend. Hopefully, this lure and similar future ties will cast and retrieve well with very light bait casting tackle. This one is fine for light spinning as is.
