Making Big Pike Spinning lures with biodegradable plastic blades
ฝัง

- I do not use spinners a lot these days, the only reason for that is I kind of got caught up in making other lures but it is always great to revisit something and put a new spin on it (sorry could not resist that). I started making this lure using a cut down metal teaspoon for blade but it was just too heavy to get the thing spinning. Having recently been messing with polymorpth a low melt plastic I though I would see if I could use it to make a blade and I was surprised really how easy it was and how well it worked. The lightness meant the blade went into a spin easily and maintained at slow retrieve speeds. Fishing it was also great fun, I managed to do well on both my testing trips picking a number pike who all seamed to follow the lure right into the shallows before banging it.
Polymorph can be bought cheaply from amazon or on ebay, just google it, thanks.

since watching the previous polymorph video I had thought about doing something like this but never knew how to go about it and you have solved my problem, thanks
it is not the easiest thing to sculpt it is a bit like chewing gum, but with a mould it works a little better
Slick idea! I like the use of the cue tip tube! This would make a great Muskie lure here in the states.
that was my inspiration really big muskie lures, but we do not have them over here, thanks
I love that new plastics your using paul the uses in fishing is limitless and it's reusable!
i really hated this stuff for a long, it never seamed to work well for making anything, but with a few experiments I am liking it a little more
Nice one Paul, definitely some cool little ideas mixed up in there to create a cool end product!
it was stuff i had so it was just bringing it together
I had no idea how to use polymorph i gave it for like 3 years now thats a great idea Paul !
i have had it for a long time also and really never found a use for it, but i have some other experiments up my sleeve including making it float
nice you getting into the water melting plastic quite a lot nice to see some of its versatility
it is something that i think i may explore again
what maybe plugs? or spoon baits?
Cool idea with the plastic material ;)!!
Hey man, I just want to say I love your work. true art, keep it up!
thanks
Hola Paul.... Greetings from Peru.... as usual, your work was just amazing... I enjoyed watching it a lot... it was plenty of tips. Those plastic pellets are incredible. They are very versatile. I liked your marble effect. Thanks for sharing.
i did the marble thing because it is very hard to make geometric patterns
But they were and looked great!!! I liked them a lot... You know, recently I read an article in the plane about an angler in New Zealand. He add little spoons (made from metal and plastic, like your marble ones) to all his minnow lures. He said that is a fatal attraction to fish. the article include some pictures of his captures, and they were awesome. I am thinking to try them with my lures. I will see if I can get some of these pellets in Amazon. Do you know if there are transparent ones?
Before to say goodbye, whenever you can, give a look to my new Attila Veneno Concept ...I would like to know if you have a recommendation to improve it. Thanks for your time and for sharing your experience.
"What Pike Could Resist That" Another Cracking Video Lad, Great Work, Well Done!
I caught a few pike and did better than expected, but managed to have one of those days were I seemed to have lost the ability to use a camera. While landing one fish I managed to video a nice stand of reeds with the fish and me out of shot. Never mind, it did not spoil a good day's fishing, thanks
Thank you
I may have told you this already, Paul... but you're the Bob Ross of Fishing.
Just need the afro
Fantastic Video
who's a clever boy then? that's pretty awesome mate!!!
a bit of messing round that paid of Barrie
Just GREAT!
Nice idea with the plastic blades!
it was a bit of wild card i tried with metal tea spoon first but it was too heavy and did not turn well so i gave this a go
I love when the experimentation works out! I learn so much watching your channel, thanks again for sharing with us!
thanks for showing how to make your own inline spinner, now I can make my own! :-)
thanks and good luck
Отличная работа, достойна уважения. Excellent work, worthy of respect.
always good to see
thank you
For anyone else who is cheap like me, the plastic can be just some simple HDPE. Use bottle caps and a toaster oven or something to melt it, wear some leather gloves and put parchment around the spoon.
i was think of doing something with hdpe in the future, thanks for reminding me
The Handmade Fisherman I actually just made a little crankbait for some of the small bass in the pond by my house using some. Little cold now, but I'll try it out in the summer along with some balsa lures. HDPE is actually great because it floats perfectly. Just a bit less buoyant than a wooden lure. It also has that extra weight that makes it easy to level out. Mine needed no extra weights. HDPE is also great for bill making. That's the material I use for my balsa lure bills. Works like wood and very easy to fix any air pockets due to its low melting point.
Wonderful video as usual....
super boulot , bravo !!
You got some damn good videos
thank you
awesome, i love it!
thanks
Super Video.
Hi. Love your videos, I find them very inspiring, keep them coming 🖒
I may have missed it if you have already provided it but could you supply details of where to get wire and plastic please.
awesome, i love it! i'll make one !!
awesome
Hi
Thank you for the interesting and informative video. I'll definitely make a bait for your instructions, but I'll just make a petal on a 3D printer)))
You make awesome videos
thank you
great video sir like it too much
Beautiful tutorial and beautiful video , you could explain to me how you made the underwater shots of the artificial spoon that you recover, maybe it's a technique that you should kindly explain to me if possible. Thanks again congratulations for everything..forgive my English, I hope I explained myself Ciao
How about a nice video on how to make metal casting lures. Ive searched all of youtube but havent found anything worthwhile
i will be doing one at some point, i have had a go at making some in the past thanks
Nice!
Hello Paul. I respect you for doing awesome works. Thank you very much and please if you have time make salt water lures.
soon, i think for salt water lures
I like how you made the spinner
cheers
I tried making a spinner from pieces cut out of a discarded plastic safety helmet, (they have lots of built in concave shapes to them) BUT they wouldnt actually spin when I tried doing a test. The clovis's were running smooth, so couldnt work out why, possibly the blades was too thick or too big?
Muito bom, bem fácil de fazer e pelo visto pega peixe!
simple but nice
thanks
wow,that's a awesome
thanks
why do you want it to be biodegradable?
if you lose it their i plenty of other metal in the spinner also i thought the silver flash of the spoon was the best attractant?
looked really professional though
I did not want it to be biodegradable , it is just what the material is, what i found with metal blades is they need more speed to get going and to run, the plastic with the flat back acts more like a wing and requires less effort to get going and to maintain it. I have added flash or silver to the blades using a few different methods but to honest it is one of those things which hard to judge whether I catch more fish with the silver blade or without. I am not trying make a rules but experiment
On spinners is the blade spinning that is the attractant mate. Fishes, and more than this predators fish are using the water waves more than eyes and scent, for them the water waves are like sound for us. That's why spinners are sort of universal lures, they work any time of the year because you can use them at, both, high and low speed (summer/winter). Won't go into the why bit to much, as in the environment and so, just a short info: normal plastic will last at least 200 years, think about the impact on water quality ;)
inspiratif, i try make one with colorado blade but blade can not spin...why
Try modify the blade, another shape or size, etc... Might be that the blade is to heavy as Paul said in the video description. Try to play a a bit with this and would be great if you come back and tell us what was wrong.
do those wire clevis you make hold up well to repeated casts with a heavy blade?
yep, even a heavy metal blade is not that heavy
The Handmade Fisherman I'll be using premade brass blades, I'm making musky and pike spinners for myself and a few friends. Just wanted to know, I thought about buying clevis. But they're expensive
goode
Your videos are fantastic, I love them but I just don`t have the guear required to make the lures.Can you please make some easier tutorials. Thank you
I dont know how you are doing barrel wrap with your bare hand. .050 is some heavy stuff
this is tig welding wire and is normal annealed making it soft
Would you mind using more out doors kind of music? I really love your vids, and content. However, the music tends to kill the mood for me. I really love just good ole nature sounds, or similar to Solitudes. I know you have to watch for infringements. Thanks mate, for your hard work. It is greatly appreciated. Regards, Cam.
