skinny Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Hello I would like to start making some spinner baits and other simple tackle. through out the seasons I have been lucky to go fishing with several hosts.I would like to be able to give something back as a token of appreciation. So I thought this could be a simple way to do it. Wha are the sugestions on here for someone starting out. buy a kit or just supplies and go at it. I have never done any of this before but willing to try

So I thought this could be a simple way to do it. Wha are the sugestions on here for someone starting out. buy a kit or just supplies and go at it. I have never done any of this before but willing to try I think that's a great idea! Purchasing a kit or the components separately both have their benefits. A kit obviously makes things easier and is a great way to learn what you need. Probably a good place to start if the price is right. Buying the supplies separate gives you more control over quality and selection of course, but can be more expensive [but not always]. The components also come in various stages of "completeness". For example, you can buy the spinner bait forms (the wire) and mold them yourself or buy them pre-made - both painted and unpainted. Same thing for the silicon skirts. You can buy them pre-tied or do it yourself. Too many options! If you're handy with an air brush, you can open up a whole world of options by simply just custom painting blades and spoons. Luremaking.com is a good place to start. They have some guides online and sell various components. The do sell a spinnerbait kit that makes three spinnerbaits for $7 to $10 depending on the size. I have not ordered from them myself but I am pretty sure others on OFC have. Once you get into it it's a lot of fun.

danbouck Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 Luremaking.com is the best place. All the lure making kits at the fish-a-thon last year was from them
gaspumper Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 I don't know if all CTC stores carry them or not but ours in Belleville has tons of different blades,beads,and every thing else you need to make worm harnesses.
Handlebarz Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 I will also say that Luremaking.com is the best place to look for your parts Steve and his crew are super fast and very friendly the site has alot of helpful info to get you started. I should wake up tomorrow to a package sitting on the step
skinny Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Posted March 13, 2011 ok I have been looking in the lure making stuff. and I'm wondering if you can get the pre moulded wire for spinnerbaits like it looks the kit gives you as I'm not sure i'm want to mold any yet I have not contacted lure making to ask them yet (cause maybe I'm blind and missed them in the catalog)

skinny Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Posted March 13, 2011 perfect seems it's not always the best way to d/l the catalog I should have checked the online
outllaw Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 steve in hepworth is a good supplier. before you start an adventure i would take a look at the handlebarz line of spinners. great quality and pricing. he.s also an adverizer on this board.
Scott S Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 Bass Pro sell's pre tied rigs 48" of flourocarbon. All you have to do is add your beads and your blade with the cleavis and your set. They have a good assortment of beads and blades. Scooter
Mark Kulik Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 pre-molded is best skinny-lead is something you dont want to mess with, Lurecraft in the USA is also good, although shipping, duty etc.. may be a bit more.
