Homemade spinner components

Anyone make thier own inline spinners? I have been making spinners for trout and panfish for a year or two now and am having trouble finding some specific components. I'm looking for the pear shaped panther martin style bodies, painted or unpainted. The only place I have found them is cabelas and they want your first born for a pack of 10. My other sources have been jann's netcraft and lure parts online.com.

    I've had good luck with Michael's craft stores for different shapes of beads that may work for you. They just don't call them lure bodies...

    what he said... glad to know I'm not the only one who does this. I guess if you want to talk addictions then this is my drug of choice.

    Thanks for the tip, I'll check out Michaels. I really like making lures, since I already have a ton of fly tying materials I can make some killer spinners. Plus they cost a 1/4 of what they want for panthers martins, rooster tails, c.p's etc... And if I loose them in a branch I'm not kick'n myself.

    These are the ones I'm after,

    It looks like I can get them from Hagens. I'm surprised more places aren't carrying them. I have found plenty of rooster tail and mepps style bodies but not the panther martin.
