Could someone explain the blade setup on these or better yet take a pic and post it? The local shops don't carry them and I have everything to make a homemade version. Thanks.

cooter i think the main difference in a shrink wrap at the top of the arm extending halfway down the ball bearing - i'll take a look when i get home and try to get a pic - i'm a rad dog guy but won one at a show last year, like the size but it doesn't come through the foil very well so it doesn't get used much.

Is it just the two blades attached to one swivel?

Here's a picture, Cooter. Off the arm of the spinnerbait is a high quality ball bearing swivel, which has a split ring attaching to the blades.

When I first saw this, I was really surprised. I was wondering how well the blades would work like that. But they actually work better than the more typical design of attaching them with a clevis. Kevin started out that way, but found this set up to be better.

Thanks much sir! Is the shrink for weeds or to keep the blades in position for start up or....?

[AWH]

Cooter, I will get the exact answer from Kevin and get back to you. I remember (most of) what he told me when he changed the design a couple years ago. I just want to get the complete answer right from the source for you.

Cooter, here's the response direct from Kevin.

"They won't work if this is not done. The blades turn inside out. Also it helps the ball bearing stay clear of weeds."

Thanks much Aaron, interesting about the blades without the shrink.
