Here is a  pic of a few that I make, the one's in the middle of the picture that look like CP Swings with the chartreuse and pearl beads and the brass ones are killers. I get the bodies and blades from Netcraft. I also make them without the treble and use hand tied bugger's or streamers, there like a joe's fly spinner but weight more.

Very nice. I zeroed right in on the CP look alikes. Have you ever compared yours against a actual Swing?

Umm, let me rephrase a earlier response. Dam nice work!!

Nice looking homemade spinners !
 
As a youth many years ago I used nothing but spinners for years.
Mepps were always my favorites, CP Swings, Rooster tails , Panther Martians,
Shysters (they had the rippled blade ), Uncle Joe's,Swiss Swings, all were in my aluminum Umpco box. Caught lots of Trout , Bass and Pike on most. Still got a bunch just don't toss them like I did.
Nothing like a good fast strike on a spinner !

Thanks creektroll that's something what I'm going for but just adding less bling and more fly. That's some nice work you did on them.

I dunno Captain, I was really beginning to enjoy the memories when I got 'membered that was a long time ago.
