maybe you could post some pics while in the process of making?

yeah I'll try to remember to take some pics when I build more, but when you ask about attaching hooks, you meant the spinner bait forms (leadhead) ? Rather than attaching them, you just place them in the lead mold to make that spinnerbait head. That includes the wire the hook & the leadhead, I like to buy them premade (some painted, some not), though you can make them yourself if you have a lot of time & some $$ for the tools ie: buy a lead melter (production pot), the lead mold for that type of spinnerbait form. they're called "Do-It" lead molds. Then there's the wiring or pre-bent wire forms which you can buy from many luremaking suppliers (especially for spinnerbaits), the lead molds have a hole on the side of it to put the wire form in place, so when you melt the lead using a Lee Production Pot, you just pour the lead into the mold, and after a few minutes you should have a spinnerbait form ready to be customized. If you really get into it (someone on TackleUnderground) and can even make you a custom machined lead mold, again thats advanced stuff & you have to pay a bit more but if you want a totally unique spinnerbait head, thats what you gotta do. Also if you have extra cash to play with that, you could also pay the CNC guy a bit more cash so you own the actual rights to the mold design aswell as the mold itself.
Also (for anyone else that stumbles on this thread) if you ever need to replace hooks on a jerkbait or a crankbait, invest in a decent split ring tool, for adding or changing bent or old hooks to heavier treble hooks. Very easy to use, and you can buy from a few online shops, Lurecraft, Cabelas,s and a few others.

If you ever wanted to test out your spinners...
You should goto Bronte Pier early morning (opposite side of lighthouse) and do some salmon fishing. and around 7AM or so... start using your spinners for smallmouth as I have seen several s.mouth cruising around with by the pier wall.

Have a look at the place you attache your line. Not many come with twisted/enclosed loops to attach to your line. You lose that first couple of feet when you start your retireve. And occasionaly you'll feel it running wrong as the line/attachement hasent slipped to the front and requires a quick pull to get it goin again.
I now ONLY purchase spinner baits with a enclosed front loop. Less head aches and less messed retrieves. None of the pix above have that, they SHOULD!
Spinnerbaits are wicked lures!

Forsure takes talent and patience to build your own lures good on you I was not bashing at all just passing a sudjestion along to close the eye's becasue some people prefer it.
"If you tie directly to the spinnerbait you won't have to worry about the line slipping up."
Geese you are a smart puppy arn't ya! hahahahaahahahaha

V-Shaped Frames (looped/twisted eyes):
- twisted/loop eye for pike/muskie leaders
- put outs less vibration, stronger frame
- less line slip, due to twisted/looped eye
- more foul-ups due to the blade arm being closer to the body
- heavy wire diameter
R-Bend Frames:
- self corrects in freefall, less line foul-ups
- blade arm & blades are further away from body, equaling more free spinning blades
- puts out more vibration, lighter frame (depending on wire diameter)
- does have a little bit line-slip
- usually come in lighter wire diameters, but can be custom made with stronger wire.
Also heres a quick tip, I never did this, but if you're using a leader and if you really want to turn/convert a r-bend into a spinnerbaits, just put a skirt collar over the bend or better yet you can also tie the bend with wire or thread.
Spinninreel, sometimes I will on a particular lure, after a test session I might modify the lure, but usually I won't do it there on the spot as I hate bringing all the tools & small parts with me etc, but what I'll do is experiment and take notes or write down descriptions of how the lure looked in the water, add ideas for a better parts or even better blade selections.
