Interesting post Ulrich. I sometimes modify spinners to target mullet, as do a few people on here, but I've never made from scratch.

Homemade spinners for salmon
Does some of you make homemade spinners for salmon?
The pleasure is much bigger with homemade lures, so have made my spinner for several years for salmon in local rivers....
Its a small hobby in Denmark, so start been members of the American forum, they are decades in front of us.
They have 0.032 thickness blades, so its a heavier blade then normal, so you have much more feeling with the blade and you can feel the tip tip on the rod end and actually feel the speed of blade.....
The season started 16th April, so spring and cold water and the spinner most fish slow and deep as possible, the heavier blade is really great for drifting to the bank with no retrieving at all.....
We have sandy button and stream made variety of depth, so less retrieving or give line, you are able to work the spinner up and down.......
Like to built med spinners with lead bodies and only rubber tail around the hook, the robber tail center the hook and the button became snaggy because of the button vegetation, so keep the hook free of that, so able bouncing almost free along the button.....
Sometimes I think the flying condom have too large surface, so in high water level it raise the spinner....
I had release 102cm, 92 and 87cm this year, all catch on black body and silver blades, have variety of color, but always black catch salmon...

The black used spinner took the 102cm salmon

I make my own flying Cs Ullrich. I have experimented with different bodies but find that the plain and simple rubber tube is as good as anything.

Far prefer these over shop bought spinners. Very easy to make them in different weights and with different blades to suit various water conditions. I also like to add the small red " bearing beads". Just something personal , but I think they add a little extra.
