Good job Phillip! They look great! I'll have to try em out.

Philip,

Sent you an email. Would like to try them out on Richland Chambers. Looks like you have a winner!

Thanks!

Everything is the mail for tomorrow.

Thank you all for your suggestions and help getting this chapter written.

Was able to make it out several times this weekend and tried out an assortment of sizes and colors on these spinners. Like Philip said, the in-line blade seemed to work significantly better than any of the sizes of blades on the clevis for me as well. It is a much more subtle vibration than the French blades produce. Loved the 1/4, 1/8+1/4, and 3/8 oz bodies. Was enough weight, especially with the 3/8 oz to be able to cast longer distances and having good fall rate to cover more water quicker.

On one trip, fished solo for just under 3 hours and boated 50 fish. 45 wb, 3 under hybrid (up to 17" so getting close to keeper size), 1 big hybrid and a LMB. Got the first 30 or so on the 1/8+1/4 unpainted body on medium retrieve then the bite slowed. Was still marking fish so switched to the 1/4" chartruse body and boated another twenty on that one retrieved as slow as possible while still keeping blades moving. The other trips were more of the same, just didn't keep track of numbers on the clicker. It was pretty windy all weekend and quite a bit of boat traffic. Was very pleased with how this bait fished. Dont think I have ever caught that many fish in that short of time in august on lake palestine.

Those do look really nice Phillip.

Need to get me some if you think they will catch some crappie.

I'm going to see what they will catch in the salt-water. Headed to Galveston in the morning.

So far the most popular models are:
1) 1/4oz - bare lead - #4 Inline blade - L375 #4 hook (bare)
2) 1/8 + 1/4oz - bare lead - #4 Inline blade - L375 #4 hook (bare)
3) 1/4oz - Chartreuse - #2 French blade - L777 #6 hook (bare)

When we started this venture, I thought the heavier ones would be more popular....Though, the customer is always right!

I have a 3oz (1/2 + 1 + 1 + 1/2) with a dual #4 Willow blade that we will try trolling through the brine.

Thank you all again for your support !
Philip
