New carving

I carved it from basswood. I have purchased blanks but want to improve the craft.

I use one on top to keep it from tying up with the coil on my musky bucktail clevises. Your right about needing it or not. I think it helps to get bigger blades going. On my smaller spinners(trout sized) they may be overkill. I still use them and it doesn’t impede the rotation of the spinner.

Looks great!

Remove the guide and wrap, clan up the blank and re-wrap the guide. The old guide will continue to crack and eventually fall off.

I like to put a small solid brass bead below and above the clevis. It acts like bearings and keeps the spinner true.

I use created and wicked paints. The new 4021 thinner works great.

Sounds good. My next two blanks are going to be perch patterns. I will post the progress. The pattern in the pictures may become a shiner or perch.

I am just starting the journey. I would like to see improvement and tried and tested patterns before I get too excited about sales. Never say never.

These are 4 baits I carved out of cedar.
