Making Bucktail Spinners

[codyBfishing]

In the past two years i started musky fishing and now im hooked on it and love it! The only thing that Sucks is that Im only 15 and its hard to find a job besides mowing yards and stuff so i make very little money; and well you guessed it; it all goes to new lures! Which is okay but i looked a little bit and realized that in the long run i might save some money by buying componets and making my own lures, plus they will be my personal lures. Im wondering if anyone has any advice on were to start. Whats the best way to make the lures and what techniques are there. I would very much appreciate any advice and/or tips. Thanks!

in the long run you might not save too much money, but it is fun. examine your favorite bucktail and see how it's built. grab a catalog from Stamina Inc or Moore's Lures and get the components you need.

there's not too much anyone can tell you to make it easier, it's pretty simple when you get down to it. trial and error is the best way, it's easier than you think.

buy extra wire shafts because you'll have to try it a few times to get it right, but you'll catch on quick and have some fun.

Thanks. Well at least if im haveing fun i can pretend im saving money right?! haha. but i just think it would be fun to make my own and have it the way i want it.

it really is fun, gets you through the winter at least. the skills you acquire can also be used to fix your store bought bucktails and modify them to your liking. you'll also have color combos that nobody else is throwing!

remember, there's always more than one way to do it.
