    Looking for any guys that are do it yourself spinner bait / buzz bait guys. I’m getting a renewed itch for muskies that I haven’t had for over 20 years. Anyways, I’m looking to make about 10 buzz baits, 20 or so spinner baits and about 20 Inline . I would like to trade off making blades or jigs with someone that has the wire former and mold that could crank out 1.5oz and 2oz spinner baits (unpainted) with 7/0 or larger and about .060 wire.
    I have the majority of components I want/need. Just need the formed wire/and molded. At this time i don’t want to drop 150 on the wire former and molds if I can avoid it.
    Let me know… Thanks

    Back in the early 90’s a buddy and I used to make 1.5oz tandem spins. I will call him and check on the mold.
    I’m also looking to do some Muskie fishing this year. There was a stretch of about ten years that was about all I fished for.
    Monday I went out and bought new line and wire to make leaders, why would anyone pay $9 for one? I also picked up three lures…$110! A little sticker shock to say the least. I’m not sure my old reels could handle throwing a big Cowgirl! (or my back)

    I’ll let you know about the mold Randy.

    oly $110 you got off cheap! Prices are insane. Next year go to the tackle swap on Saturday after the April MN Muskie show at O’Gara’s in St. Paul. lots of deals on many different baits, reels and rods.

    Good Luck

    p.s. I have a Dadson Dbl 10 bucktail that I will sell you for $50…. latest stupidity in buying used $25 baits.

    Steve, it’s gotten crazy! My old lures look like antiques.
