Making you're own Spinners

[Agronomist_at_IA]

I started to make my own walleye spinners since my friend bought a boat. What are some of the best color combinations that you have found to work.

It may be a bit out of the ordinary but on Mille Lacs one color that has worked for me is pink blade and chartreuse beeds.

Check out Jolly Roger Tackle. Their spinner components, colors, beads, etc. are top notch and some color patterns you won't find anywhere else. Been using their stuff all summer on Leech, Gull, and Mille Lacs and caught alot of fish.

When on LOW the best color when it is sunny is hammered gold. The best color when it is cloudy is hammered gold. I also have played around making my own spinners, it is fun to experiment a little. I just wish I had more time to do it.

I was up to lake of the woods a couple weeks ago. I had really good luck with a northland perch looking spinner with a leech on it. I bought some supplies and made quite a few three hook setups for crawlers. Heck for about 12 bucks I was able to make 24-30 nice spinners with good line vs paying 3 bucks a pop.

It was really fun when I made a yellow/green spinner with two floats and hamered some walleye with it.

If you are looking for a basic place to start, hammered gold, hammered copper, green, orange and firetiger are all good. There will always be a better color on any given lake, but those will work just about anywhere.

I have about 100 different blades in my boat and change them out depending on sunlight, wind conditions and water clarity. Have fun sorting it all out. Don't forget your bead combinations either!

x2 with mnfishinguy, for the colors, I also like to think outside the norm as well with some off the wall color combos, I have done well with them when the norm's not working.

If I could fish 1 color combo on any lake it would be hammered gold with red beads or floats. Orange/chart, silver, pink, rainbow and white are always in the boat along with a few hundred other blades or spinners pre tied in other colors. Use the quick change clevisis and it will save you time and money and you will catch more fish.
