More Tail Spinners

I've always had reasonable success with brown-colored baits for smallmouth bass, so I tied the tail spinners pictured below.  Each weighs 1/4 of an ounce and has a #1 bronze hook.  Their red eyes are made with fabric paint.  A bulky brownish chenille yarn covers the hook shanks.  'Root Beer'-colored flash is added to the jig bodies, just ahead of their golden #2 Colorado blades.

The swivel, split ring, and blade assembly clips onto the back of each jig.  It is easily removed and replaced by a feathered or fur-covered treble or single hook.

These are very fun to tie.
