I just recently started making spinners, but I'm having trouble with some of them. I made a couple of size 3 French spinners, and the blades spin just fine, but they wobble a lot as the blade spins, unlike any pre-made commercial spinner I have used, and the shaft of the lure spins more also, which started twisting my line even with a swivel, something that commercial spinners don't do. I also made some size 2 and 3 in-line Panther martin style spinners on the same shafts, and there shafts did not spin or wobble at all.
Here is a list of the components I used(mostly from Lurepartsonline):
4" long 0.026 diameter open eye wire shafts
size 4 treble hook with vinyl tubing
and, from top to bottom on the shafts:
size 2 clevis with size 3 French blade
2 hollow metal beads, size 3/32"
3/16 ounce lead worm weight (from local tackle store)
5 mm plastic bead
The in-line spinners used the same shafts and metal beads, but with 1/16 ounce worm weights, and single siwash style hooks. They dont use the plastic bead or hook tubing. All the top loops were made with pliers.
So can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Is the front to rear weight balance of the spinners off? Would using size 1 clevises on the French blades cut down on the wobbling? Any help would be much appreciated.
