Tying spinners


Recommended Posts

I get the supplies from various outlets. Once you get the main supplies, it's easy to mix and match. I found the hardest part was learning to tie the different knots. For some reason snell knots were hard for me to figure out, and then tying them like you like them is also important. I really haven't found a good outlet though for different types of blades. That'll be the next step. I just started with the various pre-made rigs I've had from the last 10+ years and used those blades and a couple packs of the northland hologram ones for now. The quick change blade systems are a must have!

The Northland Holographic "Baitfish-Image" blades are a very good blade and surpisingly used by many of the walleye pros on the FLW. These are readily available in the tackle stores in Minnesota.

Some other good sources for some cool blades are JT Custom Tackle, Big Eye Custom Lures, Silver Streak, Tommy Harris Blades and many more as well. Bass Pro Shops has nice blades developed by P&K, Lindy has nice blades now and I just saw some really cool blades from Berkley. I found their harnesses in Pierre, SD this last week but haven't been able to find them on the net yet. Same store had the new #9 Flicker Shads and Gary Parsons was saying we don't even have these from Berkley yet... how'd they get them. smile

Beads are available from the same guys.

Hooks and line you can get nearly anywhere.

Have fun! Its an addiction!

Check out Minnkota Tackle ("MNkotatackle"), Minnesota made custom blades...doubt you'll beat the price....hand-painted, fish-catching patterns. Full-rigs available, but it's the blades that have me hooked.

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
