Lure Prototype for smallmouth

[camelbird]

Lures I constructed for some smallmouth bass fishing this year.

Thinking about making them in a few sizes

Inline spinner > lure ring > 3/0 weighted hook > soft swimbait

Nice! I'd eat them...

I've made something similar for smallmouth, they are versatile...can switch over to any plastics or hooks. They haven't seen water yet. We might have someting here!

I can't take credit for the spinners....I had a guy make these for me on Ebay. I just told him what I wanted and let him choose the colors.

Seems like this has been a thing for a while... just found this link on you tube:

That's funny, I saw the same video. I made these up with 1/4oz and 1/4 oz on 5/0 hoping to use them for spring stripers on the flats. I will use them with the smaller paddle tails like for have for bass also. The willow blade does not work very well.

Amazing what a few youtube videos will inspire. Nice Job on yours! Good idea about using some gulp

Do you suggest a colorado blade?

[archeryrob]

No, it worked but I think I was happiest with the Indiana (middle) and French (Not pictured) as they ran better. The Colorado is slower and just makes more noise. I might try a could double blades on Colorado. Drop them down on the school and pulsate them like a jerk bait and see what happens.

I picked up something similar at bps a few years back. Didn't work as well as I had hoped on WP or pickerel. I have had luck with the inline spinner swapped to single hook with a 4" grub. The one downside was some WICKED line twist.
