Christopheraaron Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 I'm trying to assembly an ideal spinner for pier fishing. I plan on making it with roughly size 5 blades (glow painted), a heavy body for casting, and about 3 1/2 inches long. My question is what style of blade would give me: the most vibration, falls the fastest and stays down? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopheraaron Posted December 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Ya, really I'm looking for the depth of willows mixed with vibration of colorado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Caster Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) Maybe a fluted type or a french blade. Or if you go with a colorado or indian style, try to get a heavier gauge metal; it'll add weight for the drop, but keep the resistance.

Rich Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 All blades give a lot of vibration. Colorado has the slowest start speed, and can be "thumped" at low retrieve rates. They pull hard, hum and lift out of the water at high speeds. Willow blades need to be pulled faster to start rotating, they stay down at higher speeds (but still lift), and create less resistance. If you want lots of vibration and the ability to get deep and stay deep, why don't you just add more weight? I gotta take the Triple Threat's side on this one. Put a heavy little bell in front of that big blade to get your distance and depth. Also helps with line twist on big blades, not sure why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 You mean a bullet? If you go bullet go brass over lead or heavy tungsten. A bell is like a bullet but curves and narrows at the top, like a bell. Usually brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopheraaron Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Hmmm, ok. Cause a bell sinker is the one you'd tie to your line for bottom fishing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garnet Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 You need to make a variety that you think will work in your situations. Color, size, shape, weight and anything else that matters to you. Now get 2 of the exact same rod,reel,line, snap swivel. And next year start casting and comparing. Report back when you have a conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
