Spinnerbait Modification

Replaced my spinnerbait's crane swivel with a knurled screw clasp.  The clasp will allow me to change blades by replacing the threaded barrel section with another having a different blade attached to its split ring.  This gives me a quick change option for switching blades.



Three different sizes of Colorado blades, in gold and silver colors, are pictured above.  I plan to powder paint several more of them with additional colors and to add a few willow leaf blades to my set.

Nice bait pup, with the 1/16oz weight sounds like a light one as well...

Cool looking spinner and love the change-able blades. The Baitfish Emulator is some fun stuff to play with.

Thank you for your comments Guys.

I look forward to fishing this one.

Just curious,, does that blade spin clockwise (from the rear) so as to not un-screw your clasp? Other than that, that's a excellent idea on a way to change blades.

I believe they do, though now I'll have to prove it to myself. Good thought.
