Beads and Blades

Decided to tie a few with these clear faceted beads I had. Also played around with some of them by adding spinner blades to add some extra flash. Yes these are very light but will be fished with a splitshot and/or under a float this spring. I need to add eyes to all of them cause the clear faceted beads reflect the color of the eyes throughout the head.

Yes I'm out of jig heads. Gotta wait a bit before I can order some and haven't had time to pour any. To answer your other question... Some have a nail through the bead then tied to the shaft. Adds a little more weight but I not sure I like em tied like that.

I got the nail part but I was talking on the first picture, you put the nail through something, almost makes it look like some kind of lip??

You could always try some spinner making wire or leader material- but I don't know how well the spinning blade on the crane swivel in the third pic would act.

Thanks for the info

Very creative! Thanks for reminding me to try a few blade lip ties.

Those are cool Andy. Nice work.

Interesting ties. :t-up:

Nice work! Are those small Indiana blades in the first picture?

Yeah they are. I just slightly bent them.

Thanks Andy - That's what I was asking about before.
