My First Attempt at Tackle Making

[Bassinkorea]

While I was buying a few items on the net the other night I came accross this little spinnerbait kit which I just had to have    This is a spinnerbait that can be made without having to pour lead. Here's some pics of the stuff that comes with the kit (enough to make 10, 1/4oz spinnerbaits).








.....and here's the final result of my first attempt. As you may see, I actually found a use for a Banjo Minnow

Hey Bassinkorea that's looking good.
Now go catch some fish with it and let us know how it works.

[Lipripper]

BK eye see that bait monkey found you again  Looks good though now when you can find some fishable water get er wet 

[Hawgwild]

Good job BK...those look VERY nice...

You'll enjoy catching fish on the lures you have made youself....Just a little personal satisfaction if nothing else....I make my own jigs and like the way I can create exactly what I want...

Best of luck with those...

Good deal BK. Welcome to the tackle building addiction. 

[Bassinkorea]

Thanks a lot fellas, it means a lot to hear responses like these from you experts. I guess this is just the begining, if I enjoy doing the rest of this kit I may start looking into pouring lead and doing more spinnerbaits and buzzbaits

Steve, Looks pretty good!! I am impressed.  Bends all look very good.


1 thing though that sticks out at me.  That small piece of wire sticking out of the bullet weight looks like it could be a line hanger, can you cut that down some more, or perhaps cap it with some heat shrink or glue?


  Sorry I don't want to come across as negative, just tryin to help.

Good eyes Dug   

Like I said it is my first try and I expected some small faults like that. It's an easy fix thought, I can just slide the bullet weight up the line and cut it off.

I am actually grateful to hear honest criticism like that, that's what will help me improve

Thanks Steve.   Does that Kit come with both gold and silver blades?  My favorite 1/4oz set up is with a silver willow in front and the small Colorado in back.

No unfortunately, only gold blades in this kit.
That's my favorite blade color combo also Dug    The site does sell seperate blades in different sizes and colors, so if I get more into this I can change things up a bit

WTG BK!!!
I like the use of the Banjo Minnow too- the eye looks like the kill spot on a shad.
Welcome to the addiction.......

[afroman5015]

[BIG PAPA]

Looks pretty good to me BK  I bet you slay em on it.

[Bassinkorea]

Thanks for the kind words everyone 

Nice work Steve 

From the tackle making master himself......thanks Karl

Banjo Minnows make great vibrashock trailers too.  The side to side action works perfectly with the thin profile and vertical tail.  It wiggles and swims like a real shad.

Very nice indeed!
I am sure it will catch bass.
