This topic has come up, so I went and looked thru some of my tackle and found these that I had made. They're copies of the Little George type tails spinner made with Do It molds, although I experimented with various blades on them.
These were made many years ago, as they were painted with vinyl paint & over coated with epoxy. I possibly haven't used vinyl paints in 20 to 25 years, so they would be at least that old.
More!
Even more! lo
The baits and the paint seem to have held up well over the years ~c~

Steve, Yes, they don't get much wear sitting in a tackle box! lo I think I may have used some of them, but most were probably not used. I also found I had a stash of small spoons of various types that I had forgotten about. ::)

I've had lures sitting in a tackle box for far less than they have that look a whole lot worse lo
The Turtle Shell blade is a secret weapon on spinner bait. In a larger blade, the blade's reflection "shimmers" in the light and the vibration is different from other blades. It worked best as an early morning spinner steadily retrieved and as a short arm drop bait around dusk.
I've never seen a Turtle Shell blade as little as the one in the picture. I once had around 150-200 Little George. Most were bought for $.25. Now the lure is around $5 at BPS.
Your homemade lures are very nice, Gentlemen. Obvious that both of you take pride in your work.
