Just a pic of a Spinnerbait I have just bent up for some skinny water fishing this afternoon. Should be fun!!!

Looks good Colin. :tick Are you making the whole thing yourself? I've not seen those split blades before. I'm guessing the action would be somewhere between a colorado & willow, maybe something close to a french blade.
fitz..

Fitz,
This particular one was a re-make of an existing spinnerbait I removed the old blades, shortened the blade shaft and added a new skirt, beads and blades. I am now in the process of making my own from bending the wire to pouring the lead and making the skirts. I have been mucking around with a few ideas over the last few months and finally bit the bullet and ordered some molds and the additional items required to make them from go to woe. Even messing around with an airbrush etc to paint the heads, as for the V shaped blade I am yet to see them in the water I have had them for a while now. I figure they will be a little quieter through the water with the surface area being less (my opinon only) will report back with findings on them after I have swum it. When I have refined the pouring and building process to a point I am willing to show them in public (hahahaha) I will post some pics.
Regards and Thanks Colin Linton

Fitz,
Quick update on those V Blades, they actually have a wider wobble than a willow but different obviously to the colorado. They in my opinion give off less vibration than both a willow or colorado, The spinnerbait pictured above was good for 1 fish and about 20 casts this morning before losing it to a snag. That and a purple skirted spinnerbait were both donated to the same snag :'( ohh well thats the price I pay, atleast I was in the right area I spose. Have attached a pic of the spinnerbait and fish in question from this morning. I do appologise for hanging the poor thing however it was only done for photo and then released to swim again. Off to spot X tommorow for another go and a push further up stream.
Regards Colin

Wow, thanks for the life size pic. I'm guessing you're fishing downstream from a Stocked Impoundment?
