Nice lure, I build similar lures with round nose pliars by hand. I like to use 1/16 oz and 1/32 oz bullet weights as lure bodies. I like to paint them, and use round cutouts of lure tape, I make with hole punches, and use UV resin as a clear coat to lock everything in.
Great how-to video, I needed this ! I lost about 8 Mepps spinners this season and it is getting expensive so I need to start making my own. At ~2:09 you mention you are using #10 wire - can you check that please as that seems way too thin (#10 AWG = .102"). Netcraft only lists .024 wire and LPO only stocks .026 wire. Thanks.
@@timgrant6939 AFW?? Had to look that one up - American Fishing Wire !!! Can't seem to find a conversion chart though . . . but, I learn something new every day, sometimes twice a day. OK then, .024 works great for me. Thanks Tim, you're the best.
you can change hook out by simply choping the hook off at the eye on the hook and getting a small hook about the same length as the spinner wire take a punch and open the eye a little then slip it in place on the loop where other hook was and crimp closed
Not makeable for 80 cents anymore! Janns has those spinner blades 5 per bag for 5 bucks. So each blade is a DOLLAR. Blade clevis hook body beads piece of wire. probably close to 2 dollars each. However store tackle is 5 - 6 bucks per piece and UP, so if you lose a lot of tackle to snags it can be worthwhile.
Why does that not surprise me? Everything has gone up so much in price. It has been 3 years, but that still seems like a lot. Thanks for the heads up. I changed my video description.
You can buy wire at these and other tackle shops. www.jannsnetcraft.com/ www.lurepartsonline.com/ www.tacklewarehouse.com Use what ever size wire you think you need. For a small lure like this I’m probably using .010 gauge. AFW (American fishing wire) #10 is .010 and 124LB test.
Good video. But no, don't use that stuff to dress your hook. Use head cement or the cheaper option is go to the $1 Store & buy a bottle of clear nail polish.
VERY WELL DONE 👍,,, THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATION AND PASSION THAT YOU BRING TO THOUSANDS OF US,, GREAT CHANNEL,,,,
Thank you so much.

I want to start making some lures thank you for the video
I'm learning how to make lures. I love your videos!
Thanks!
Hay thank you I'm going to get one of those lure tools thank you.
It's a lot of fun and easy to use.
“Mepps makes a great lure.” Apparently so do you!
Thanks! I do catch a lot of fish with this little jem.
Nice video 👍

They don't use the AWG system. I don't know if it's there own system or not. AFW #10 is .024. .026 will work fine.

Great video thanks. With a single hook (local regs) this would be great in NC streams
Thanks.

i use the hair from old baby dolls from thrift store in place of bucktail.
I Love it when people get creative.

Where can I buy an electric motor that turns slowly like the one you show in this video. Do you have a video on making this rotating tool?
You can purchase the motor at www.jannsnetcraft.com/028090500002
The video on how to build the dryer is at th-cam.com/video/K30jI3DyUcw/w-d-xo.html
Love your videos. But one of these days I'm going to machine you a proper paint spinning jig out of aluminum. Thanks.
That would be awesome!
Would've been nice to see the finished loop
Nice video Tim.

I wanna see how you made that spinner

Thanks for the advice.

Everytime you make a lure. The clownshow industry gets hurt.
