Default Spinning rig components

Where is everyone getting their spinning rig components. Pretty limited at the normal places, beads and Colorado blades mostly is what I want.

Lure making.com in Canada and lure parts online in the USA are two of the main lure part suppliers I use

Odds are you will find everything you need and stuff you didn’t think you needed between theses two places

Hagens is another good one but they're in the US. I use mainly luremaking.com They're on the bruce pennisula at Hepworth in Ontario so You dont have to put up with customs opening your shippment and doing a half ass job of taping it back up and losing half of it. They usually ship pretty quick as well No hard copy catalogue so that bites a big one, virtual only. So if you dont know your sizes your screwed.

Luremaking.com has been my go-to for 5 or 6 years also.

Check out www.walleyecandy.ca

Julian is in Regina. He does some really nice work with blades, and his beads are the best I've used. He's a super good guy too, you can't go wrong.

And I thought Northland blades were pricey. That is a lot of art lying on the lake bottom after a toothy critter attack.

What isn't pricey these days, fishing tackle in general has gotten pretty crazy, it's been eye opening (eye watering?) the last couple trips to TFH or Cabelas.

It might not be for everyone, but you do get what you pay for, it's premium quality, and you're supporting a local guy/business. That's always worth something to me too.

Michael's has/had some unique beads back in the day. I have four or five 3700's full of spinner rig components as bottom bouncing = profit on Slave back in the 90's. I offered to you or someone else last year, if you're looking for something specific let me know and I might be able to help you out. I couldn't use all the kit I have in several lifetimes.

Put a bobber stop just up from the top hook, saves the gear quite often when the knot breaks at or above the hook
