21XDC you need more time on the water and less time in the shop. Having said that, those are some interesting looking lures. Not sure what the blade action is gonna do to your spinner blades but one never knows, you may have a winner there.
Nice job and thanks for sharing
-
I fish a lot... But my brain is wired different than anyone else I know... :P ;D I have been making and designing baits for near 30 years. :o
Thanks all.. ;D

Being the line is not tied to the blade and is tied like a spinner bait my guess is that this will not vibrate like a blade bait will and is only a metal spinnerbait. So not sure you have anything special there. Just my opionion.
-
I will say this... A skirt on a spinnerbait does not look like any baitfish or anything they eat in the lake... BUT, This does.. ;D
A bass will eat a bright blue brush hawg... What it that supposed to be? :D Our clear water here and smallmouth will smash these.
-
I'm wondering how those hooks will work in the weeds.
-
Not near as well as a single hook.. These work great for rocky smallmouth waters... You could always use weedless treble hooks.

It would have to be open water fishing. Where I'm from a spinner bait is a reaction bait and needs to bump off of wood or rip through the weeds. Treble hooks would not do well.

21xdc it would be neat to see a video of what they look like in the water. 8)

I will be using them tomorrow, But the water is muddy and probably wont be able to see much.

I guess where your from nobody uses lipless cranks or square bills with TWO trebles ripping through grass and bumping wood... ;D This is no different and may be even better for that. ;) Still has the reaction bite qualities.

But have you tried them yet ? Do they vibrate ? My point is that traps and blades tie in the middle which cause them to vibrate. Yours is held by the nose with a stiff wire. My guess is it will just ride below the blades with no action. If you put a loop with a split ring and then put the blade in one of the holes you would get it to vibrate. But not like you have it. It's a neat idea. And yes we use traps and square bills in grass because you can tick to top of the grass with them. Never blades because they sink to deep in the grass and are harder to control the depth your fishing. A blade sinks like a rock

Cool!!! Really want to hear how these work out for you!!!!!
-
The body does not vibrate like a blade bait. The spinner blades put out enough vibes. I fished 3 baits equal time today.... A 3/8oz jig and trailer, a blade bait and this new bait I made. I only caught 5-6 bass and they all came on these in the pics. Bob O on BBC was with me and saw these in action too... I caught more and the biggest fish from the back of his basscat.
-
It sounds like I'm downing this bait. And I'm not but you did ask for an honest opinion. It didn't make sense it would vibrate and you did catch fish on it but the advantage of making this I don't see. A better comparison today would have been a regular spinner bait, Chatter bait and this bait. Those three baits all have flash and can be fished the same speeds and depths. Very typical for fishing this time of year.
-
I would think the bait would be really effective in clear water where the bass are sight feeding. Using Willow blades give more flash than thump and match the body of the bait to be a visual bait.
I also like the body size. It would be really effective on smallmouth.
There's only one way to know....let the fish tell you!

Your missing something.... A spinnerbait does not look like a baitfish or anything that swims in the lake. This bait does a much better job looking like a pod of baitfish or small A-Rig. It actually looks like "FOOD" ;D And has the triggering quality. Many advantages in this.. ;D
No need for any more responses... ;D
-
The tandem willow baits really look great in the water... The single Colorado sure has a lot more vibration and body shake action. I also started putting on #2 hooks on them instead of #4's... Michigan winter weather is setting in and I wont be able to use these much until spring. :'(
-
I love the idea. Cool bait.
-
Love it too!!! You are right on about it looking like a bait fish. I have played with spinnerbaits for Lake Michigan Trout. They are one of those species that want nothing to do with a standard skirted spinnerbait like you would use for bass. But give it a baitfish body and they are will hit it. I have been making something similar but instead of the blade I use the Shad Bait lure in 3/4 ounce (SBL-3-MB). It becomes a spinnerbait with a full lead body. Good work 21XDC.
