Done using the Ultra Minnow Spinnerbait mold, these 1/2 ounce honkers sporting #7 Hildebrant blades are sure to stir up the larger pike my buddy and I target in the summer. Sevaral years ago I used an orange/black skirt combo having a gold blade and had a field day with big pike. As per the norm, I was able to find any replacements that we worth a hoot until last summer and then they were either not the right colors, or they didn’t have the right size blades for the lure weight or they were simply ridiculous in cost so I decided to make what I wanted/needed. The key was an oversized gold blade that let the spinner on or very close to the surface and churned the water up good on a moderate retrieve. I’m pretty certain that these will stand up to the task. I’ll be adding a 4/0 trailer to these when we’re ready to dunk them.

Muskygary:
Do you add a plastic bait on the hook, or just fish them with the skirt alone?

ctom:
Just the skirting.

I have never seen anyone bend the swivel loop backwards before.... Why did you?

ctom:
I don't think there's a right or wrong way really. With the nice weather I walked these down to the river behind the house and tossed each for a few casts and they work absolutely fine.
