  • Looking for small (1/16-1/8 oz) spinnerbait heads

    We went to Baltimore for NYE and ended up at a bar right by Tochterman's. Not a good idea for the wallet. In any event, I am now the proud owner of a few bags of feathers, flashing, glue, and thread. What they didn't have in stock are pre-made spinnerbait heads. I assumed I could order some online but a few hours of looking yesterday came up empty. I found a ton of places that sold 3/8oz and up and a few places that sold 1/4oz ones, but nothing lighter. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

    Also look further down the page on the left side and get other size spinner heads.

      Try ebay:
      look up: spinnerbaits 1/8 oz.
      I found a guy selling lots of 25 unpainted.

      Also: Hagen's

      They had bulk pricing listed for packages of 1,000!
      but they may deal in quantities as small as 100.
      It doesn't hurt to ask.
      You want to get the R-bend model if possible rather than the twisted eye.

      for total DIY
      Barlow's #473288 which is a Do-it crappie spinner jig mold.
      The accessories are listed along with the mold.
      The size 455 hook size 1 is out of stock but a 1/0 spinnerbait hook will fit.

        One option for really light spinnerbaits like that would be to go with small jig heads and separate "spinnerbait arms"

          Thanks for the replies guys.

          Scorpioreno, I saw those but was hoping for something less finished.

          Bignose, I did a bunch of looking on ebay and never found exactly what I was looking for, unfinished R-bend heads with a smooth-ish shank. Hagen's was one of the places I found, but could not get their catalog to load last night. I just tried again with a different browser and it seems like they do sell in lots of 100, I will give them a call. I actually have a few hundred pounds of lead, I was going to cast bullets when I was into shooting. Right now I lack a good place to set up a casting op, but if I end up enjoying jig tying I will figure something out.

          Turtle, I have some spinnerbait arms but have found that they don't run as well as cast-in ones and seem to pick up a ton more weeds and other debris. I was going to start with them in any case as I try and figure out what I am doing.
