Will this work on any kinda blade ? I build spinners with French blades and wondered if I could paint my own with different colors than what I can get from lure parts and Barlow
No issues with flaking or chipping at all. The paint holds up extremely well for me. Nine times out of ten we are just throwing into a farm pond, so not a lot of rocks that would cause a chip typically. But for sure haven’t had any issues with the paint flaking off. I do typically heat them up with a heat gun or lighter to get fingerprints and such off them before I paint.
Dont get it. Why do so many Americans make it so hard ? There is 100% no need to spin it in both ends at all - waste of time. Start in the hook end by making a small loop, and leaving 2-3 centimeters (3/4” - 1”) of wire.Then add the hook to the loop, then fold the two wires together and then pull the body down to the loop with the hook, and then a pearl/beads and the blade and finish of with a loop and twist it - finish.
I get it… you don’t make them the same way. That’s ok!! I have made them how you described as well. I wouldn’t say it’s harder or faster to make them either way?? Might be an interesting race? LMK!
I’m not sure if you can get these shipped to Taiwan. That would be a question for the suppliers below. Good luck! poulsencascadetackle.com/product/twistech/ store.do-itmolds.com/Professional-Wire-Former_p_866.html
@@ryderplays70 I hope it gave you some good ideas! I have a couple other videos on painting spinner blades as well! I would be interested to see your blades finished!! Good luck!
@@vogters12345 I got mine from poulsencascadetackle.com/product/twistech/ Looks like they are out of stock also. When I ordered mine, it was on back order and took me roughly 6 months to get. That was really the reason I purchased the hagens. Both really are great tools!
I attached an aluminum bar to the bottom of my Hagen's machine and used C-Clamps to hold it in place and make it portable. I like the Hagen's machine just a little better.
@@Counselor77 Thanks for the comment! Making it portable is a plus for sure. The little trays on the hagens is a nice extra feature as well. I find myself using the twistech more these days, probably just for the speed. The hagens has the extra step where you have to flip the wire over to bend it back before making the loop.
I’m not sure that I do. I have a smorgasbord of beads, blades and clevises. I’m usually pretty random when choosing, depending on what I’m going for. I’ll have to be a little more conscious of that in the future! Thanks for the comment!
Great video and nice looking spinners, I have a pile of panther martins, xd mepps that go thru heck during the white bass run. I have a bunch of bent up trebles and torn up dressings on the hooks. I need to learn to replicate the dressing on the panther martins so I can make some up new dressed hooks to replace all my bent up ones.
I appreciate it! Something I have also done, which I need to make a video doing, is refurbishing old mepps lures. My Grandfather had about a dozen old ones that were exactly as you are describing. Rusted hooks, bent and just beat up! He gave them to me to see if I could do anything for them, and basically I just cut them off the old wire and put whatever was salvageable on new wire. They turned out great and he loved them! Not to mention it probably saved him a hundred dollar bill!
Ive been wanting to tie up some dressed trebles for a while now but didn’t really know how to do it. Thanks! Didn't even think about balance on each hook. And thanks for the recommendation on the deep penetrating glue. Do you ever use a UV glue on these?👍👍👍
I haven’t used any UV glue on any of my tying projects. I have used a couple different glues and definitely liked the penetrating the best because of the look!
Thank you for sharing great job I tried to order one of those spinning gigs makers. it’s ni no in possible to get one in England and very expensive if you find one , so I made one my self out of metal angle roofing Joyce brackets set on wood base with a stainless steel 8m bar going through one the brackets with the handle at one end and a pin at the other end of the stainless steel bar, with the other bracket a steel block with a slots cut in and fix to that bracket, as to the one you have no your end . Just thought you like to know this, there’s more than one way to skin a cat if are creative like your self 🤝👍
@@Appalachias_Son It’s called a TwisTech wire former. Seems like they are out of stock now. I had the same problem when I bought mine. I ordered it but it was on back order and took about six months to get. I have another video you should check out that compares this with the hagens wire bender tool. The hagens is definitely more available. Good luck! poulsencascadetackle.com/product/twistech/

Good vid ! .. I got the Sparkie Jig Mold from DoIt Molds, KINDA wish I'd gotten this one, might later on but i also have their Herring mold too, but i like the look of the poison tail one. Can make a Chatter Bait out of almost anything which is great :D ... And coloring the blades is a great idea !! I haven't done that yet
I have a couple airbrushes, the one in the video was a master airbrush I purchased off Amazon and I have a Kobalt quiet tech 26 gallon air compressor that I bought from Lowe’s.
Excellent video.i paint Chatterbait blades and have stopped using a fluid bed, which have used for years for jigs. Especially paints with glitter, the results were inconsistent with the bed. Your technique of dipping is awesome. Thank you
Looks really good, Joe! I was watching one of your spinner videos the other day and it inspired me to drag out my stuff and make some spinners for myself again! I'd be interested to see if that lure swims as good as it looks. I had some blanks like that and painted a handful, after I tested them, let's just say I use them for light pulls and ceiling fans now. Lol I bought some from a better supplier but haven't painted or tried them out just yet.
@@1joebabb So far I don't use them very often but I sure like to paint them! I'm still retired and living around 35 miles from you? Maybe you could come visit some day and we could "play fishing toys." lol I'd love to catch up sometime! Drop me an email buddy...
