No, but now I might have to have my "tying guy", Toni, tie some for me. And unlike Bapabear, I would like some fairly large ones (3"+)for trolling for trout that are deep.

I’ve been doing this for years. Got tired of losing $4 spinners. Came out to a little over a buck apiece once you got
Over the initial cost of bulk hooks, clevises etc. couple things. You can make nice tail wraps with round nose pliers made for bending wire. The homemade jewelry section of a craft store is a good place to look for them as well as other stuff you can use. But netcraft will have about everything you need. Also a tying vise of course and very important is a hook with a straight large round eye. The down turned eye hooks on most flies don’t work well with a spinner. Good luck and send a pic of that first fish with your creation!

Nice handy work there Chas304! I would rate you as a "PRO" lure designer and concept artist! You just might want to consider making a side line business of what you are doing, as I have not seen that type of creativity on the market!

Thanks yak! Been tying flies and making saltwater plugs for a long time so it was an easy thing for me. Already owned a lot of the stuff you need. And yes the the small ones are deadly for trout. Made a few larger ones and caught some bass as well.
