Make a Simple Inline Spinner From a Kit

If you make a simple inline spinner from a kit, you’ve just made one of the best fish catchers known to man! And because you made it from a kit, you didn’t have to shop around for lots of different parts.

Lure making kits are the cheapest and easiest way to start making your own lures. When you buy a lure making kit, you’re getting everything you need to make a fair number of lures, all in one box.

We all know that catching a fish on a lure you made yourself is one of the most satisfying aspects of fishing. Catching fish is fun. But catching fish on homemade lures is truly exciting in a way that can’t be explained.

If you were to set out to make your own inline spinners without buying a kit, you’d have to buy several different components, in various sizes and colors just to get started. That can be a bit intimidating when you’re first starting out.

But if you want to make a simple inline spinner from a kit, all of the preliminary homework has been done for you. Lure making kits are great because they include everything you need, without you having to do a lot of research and leg work tracking down the various lure parts.

All you need to do is look through your kit and pick out the parts you want to use for your new spinner. Once you do that, the rest is just a matter of assembling those parts and then going out and catching some fish!

Below you’ll find a great video tutorial that shows you each step needed to make a simple inline spinner from a kit. The tutorial is clear and concise. Best of all, it takes less than 5 minutes from start to finish!

How to make trolling spinners for salmon and steelhead

In our latest post we’ll be showing you how to make your own trolling spinners for Salmon and Steelhead, for about $2 each.

It’s a pretty-well-known fact that making your own lures, no matter what type or style, is a great way to save money, as well as allowing you to customize your lures to be exactly what you want them to be, instead of having to settle for factory-made fare. The combination of components and color choices is endless, allowing you to tweak your bait in just about every aspect.

Inline spinners are no exception. Whether you make them to cast for trout in streams, rivers and lakes, or to troll in big waters for salmon and steelhead, the same holds true. Buying the components individually and assembling them yourself is not only fun, but you also get the satisfaction of knowing you’re catching fish on lures you made with your own hands 🙂

As with our previous post, we will be making on inline spinner. But this one will be a bit different than the last one in the fact that this spinner will be used for trolling, instead of casting.

This type of spinner will look somewhat similar in its design, but will require some different components to make it more rugged, for the bigger fish it will be catching. Also, because it’s trolled and not being cast, it will be assembled a bit differently.

Big Salmon and Steelhead can be brutes and you want to make sure you build spinners that will be up to the task, not bending or breaking while under the pressure of a massive fish, as it surges or jumps.

As with the last post, we will be including a tutorial video at the end, to show you the exact steps needed to build these spinners with the least amount of difficulty. Tyler walks you through a few new tips that make it easier than if you were trying to figure it out yourself.

Oh, and in addition to a list of the necessary parts, we will also be giving you a list of the tools needed to make these lures. This way you’re equipped with everything you need before you sit down and start putting them together.

Tyler does a great job of letting you know which colors work best for him, but keep in mind that you can adjust the colors for your own lures and test some new color schemes, based on your own personal preferences or the water conditions where you live 🙂

Here are the individual part numbers and links to each part, for your convenience:

Tools needed:
Needle Nose Pliers – narrow nose is preferred
Split Ring Pliers – Item #4151
Scissors (for cutting the surgical tubing)
Small bowl of water
Liquid Dish Soap (to be used as a lubricant for sliding the tubing over some of the other lure components)

Make Your Own Inline Spinners

Make your own inline spinners.

Inline spinners have been around for a very long time and they have caught millions of fish covering hundreds, or maybe even thousands, of different species across the globe.

It’s safe to say that they are a fishing staple for many different species pursued by anglers worldwide.

The reason for their wild popularity is that in-line spinners just plain catch fish. And even better is the fact that they’re not hard to use. Cast it out, reel it in. It’s that easy! Of course you can vary retrieve speeds, etc., to try to trigger bites from lethargic fish, but day in and day out, that’s not necessary to get fish to bite on inline spinners.

Inline spinners range in size from very tiny, for small panfish and trout, to extra-heavy-duty for monster northern pike and musky. They have been responsible for some serious trophy fish over the decades.

Some really nice spinners can be bought at retail stores across the globe, as well as a slew of online tackle retailers. They can range from very basic, to extremely customized with regard to the look of them. Most are reasonably priced, but when you start getting into the heavy duty spinners for pike and musky, they can get expensive in a hurry.

This is where wanting to make your own inline spinners comes into play, to save you a lot of money and give you the freedom and flexibility to make them exactly they way you want them.

Pictured to the left is a beautiful homemade inline spinner, created by Tackle Underground member ciumbaca.

This is just one of the many inline spinners he created and posted photos of, but it gives you a good idea of how nice homemade inline spinners can be made to look.

In addition to being able to tweak the colors, size and other options, if you make your own inline spinners, you can also turn out some super-high-quality baits for less than you could buy them for if you bought factory goods or had someone custom-make them for you.

And, of course, you get the satisfaction of catching nice fish on lures you made, which is a major part of why people choose to make their own lures to begin with. And who doesn’t want to save money, right?

So what we’d like to do now is give you some detailed instructions, showing you how to make your own inline spinners. But instead of writing it out and requiring you to read through a lengthy article, we’ve chosen to show you how in a great tutorial video put together by Tyler, a Lure Parts Online customer who was nice enough to take the time to create the video.

In addition to showing you how to make some nice inline spinners, Tyler also shows you what it will cost, so you know right up front what’s involved regarding your budget and how much you’ll save vs. buying spinners from retail stores.

This awesome video goes into great detail when it comes to showing you exactly what parts you’ll need to purchase, including all of the part numbers. So be sure to grab a pencil and piece of paper so you can take notes and jot down ideas that you might get as you watch the video.
