Well, it has been a while since I have been able to get to adding anything to this page. Sorry about that. But, I have to say Thank you! It's because my great customers kept me very busy during the summer, fall and holiday seasons. I appreciate that! So, as 2015 has rolled in, the one word that best describes what has been going on at Spinner Dave's, it's BEADS! I am still waiting on a batch of 7,8, 10 and 12mm Ultimate Guide Pink beads but they should be in very soon. I know, some of you that have been getting in contact have heard that before but this time it's for real. I expect them before the end of January and hoping for very, very soon.
But, in the meantime, check out the assortment of beads now in stock and available for immediate shipment. I heard the requests for 12mm so I was able to put together a pretty darn good selection of some killer beads for that category. The selection includes some new two-tone colors along with a couple of single colors that are money. And, the new crackle bead is available in 10 and 12mm in two colors. The line of custom pink beads just got bigger by one color...the new "tween" pink is the same high quality bead as the ultimate guide pink and washout pink but the color is right in between the two proven veterans. It is presently available in 8 and 10mm sizes.
The new BLAZE Coat Beads are in stock as well in six colors and sizes 6,8,10 and 12mm sizes. These beads are an acrylic white bead that have been sprayed with a special plastic/rubber coating that enables neon type colors to be added. The coating is extremely durable an the colors are very bright and light up big time under a UV light as they are highly UV reflective. These beads make an awesome looking spinner and I don't doubt they would get some fish when bead fished---particularly in murky water conditions.
So, there you have it, the beads are in and ready to go with even more on the way...Thank you! Dave

As of today, 29 spinner patterns have been added to the 2014 summer selection. Between now and July 15th about another 24 patterns will be added. Keep an eye on the New Products category on the online store for the remaining additions. And, not to be too redundant, it's never too early to get your orders in for spinners for the summer season. There is nothing I dislike more than having to tell a customer I am out of a product but when it comes to spinners, it is just the way it is. It is simply a matter on just not being able to anticipate that "hot" spinner and/or just not being able to produce and restock before the demand is gone. So, Spinner Dave's does the best we can at offering productive spinners and keeping inventory levels on hand that will meet demand. It is clearly not an exact science but each year we get a bigger head start and a smarter selection on hand so we are definitely on the right track. Thank you!

I am in the process of building up the spinner selection on the online store. One of the hardest parts of my business is trying to figure out the ready made spinner product I offer. Over the years I have come to the conclusion that it is best to leave the selection of spinners I offer a "tidal" thing. That is, keep it fluid and do my best to react to the ebb and flow seasonally in the demand for various sizes and patterns.
In starting the process for the 2014 summer/fall season, I am working on adding patterns and sizes that will address the early part of the summer season and then will expand selection to meet the late summer and fall fisheries. I am excited to be able to offer some great patterns that include some of the newest additions including some fine tuned rainbow patterns now in stock along with the SG series in a number of fantastic "killer edge" patterns.
As the seasons move along I will do my best to get some spinners into the system that are doing well in real time. That can be difficult but I will definitely try. Please keep in mind that Spinner Dave's is more than willing and happy to work to accommodate your custom spinner needs. Do not hesitate to call or email with your request(s) and I will do all I can to take care of you. Keep in mind that the next few months get crazy busy and it is NEVER too early to get your spinners and/or spinner orders in. I will be adding more spinners to the selection daily so please
keep an eye out and order often and early. Thank you!

After getting quite a few requests for rainbow patterns, Spinner Dave's has added three rainbow color patterns to the arsenal. They are available in the FB Series in sizes 5, 6 and 7. The pink and green tip patterns are available in the B10 Series in sizes 5 and 7. The trained eye will notice that Spinner Dave's version of the rainbow is a slight variation off of the "traditional" rainbow pattern. Sometimes tweaking something that is already very good creates something a bit better and we feel that is true in this case.
The metallic chartreuse w/chartreuse hot tip is one of the most popular blades Spinner Dave's sells. Previously only available in FB 7 and B10 5 sizes it is now available in FB 5 and 6. Stock on all of these is good in anticipation of the summer season now underway.

The SG Series is quickly catching fire for good reason, these blades are catching fish. Not only do they look incredible to the fisherman, they are performing well on the water, proving that the fish also like them. Expansion of the patterns in this series has incorporated the
"killer edge" concept that really makes these great patterns. The newest twist is covering the entire front with transparent/colored coatings and adding the killer edge to finish the pattern off. Expansion of size and style availability and more killer patterns is in full speed. Stock has recently been boosted on all current patterns and sizes and the newer additions will be arriving in batches throughout late spring and early summer.

The Blue w/Chartruese dot/Hammered Hex back pattern has been the stand out pattern for spring chinook with fish being caught in the Willamette River and Tillamook Bay as of late. Demand spiked so Spinner Dave's worked to get stock before the season passed. Previously only available in the B10 series, this pattern is now available in the FB Series in sizes 5 and 6. The very popular B10 5 stock has been restocked in numbers to keep up with the current demand.
Another popular pattern, metallic chartreuse w/chartruese hot tip in the FB 7 is now back in stock. Both the smooth and hammered hex versions are both available--both are silver back patterns. Worth noting is the change from the straight (hard) line on the hot tip to the blended line as per customer requests.
All hot tip patterns going forward will have the blended line and all the popular patterns in this series will soon be available in the full line of sizes in the FB Series as well as the very popular B10 Series number 5 blade. Thanks to customer input, the hot tip patterns have been fined tune for ultimate performance.

One of the top 3 finishes I sell, the Hammered Metallic Pink both sides, is now available in #3, 4.5 and 5 FB Series Blades. The image to the left is a bit smaller than actual size. The 4.5 is a new size for Spinner Dave's and more patterns are on the way throughout the spring and summer in anticipation of the summer steelhead and summer/fall coho and chinook fisheries. This is a very popular color and I will do my best to keep inventory on hand.

New Size 7 B10 Blades...

As of March 9, the #7 B10 blade (measures 2" long and 1 1/4" at the widest) is in stock in limited finishes. More painted patterns will be arriving by the end of March, if not sooner. This is the big sister to the #5 B10 blade that has become a great seller for Spinner Dave's. This is a very versatile blade that will perform well at varying troll speeds and marriages up very nicely with hoochie skirts. This blade has tested out as being equally effective for chinook and coho. If you try it, I think you will like it....
BAB Blades Preview...

This image is actual size but may vary a bit with screen size. Big! Just under 3" overall and 2" at the widest.
Big blade fans will be as excited as I am to see the "BAB " (Big Ass Blade) blades. These blades will troll well for the salmon guys that want something BIG and the Musky aficionados will very quickly find this to be a great cast and retrieve blade for bucktails. The images to the left shows the new Hologram Watermark Pattern with side slice paint patterns (6 colors) and the new custom tape shape that will be available in a number of colors including UV colors. Painted patterns will be available as well. this is a mid to late April E.T.A...
February 25, 2013--New Patterns...

One of the most popular patterns I sell, the metallic pink w/Chart. center dot is now in stock and available in FB 5, 6 and 7 sizes. At a close second, the metallic green w/chart. center dot is back in stock in the FB7 with the size 5 and 6 coming very soon. I have had quite a few customers asking for more blue patterns so I brought in a brass/chart/blue tip and it is available in the FB 5,6 and 7 as well as the 4 and 5 size B10 blade. Pre-orders took a toll on all of these patterns but plenty of stock is available in all of them and more of all of them are already on the way--thanks to you that pre-ordered to help me determine demand better.
February 20, 2013--Hoochie-Rama

New sizes and colors are in stock now with more new colors on the way. Along with the 3.5" squid skirts, a number of colors in the 4" have arrived and are on their way.

Four new patterns in the size 5 FB blade series are now in stock. This size in the FB series will be getting a bunch of new additions throughout the spring and early summer season months. Aslo, you Columbia steelhead guys will like the new 4 1/2 size coming in some great patterns as well. Keep an eye out for all the new stuff...
January 29,2013--New Colors in the High Contrast Dot Line

To go along with the Pearl UV and Chartreuse High contrast Dots, I have added 4 new colors to the mix. Fl. Red, Fl. Green, Fl. Orange with black centers and Black with a white center are now available in the 3/8", 1/2" and 3/4" sizes. This is the easiest and least expensive ways to customize your blades, flashers and divers.
Dec. 9, 2012--New Strobe Pattern

I just got in a new pattern in the Strobe Series in size 7 FB. It is a copper base with blood red on the front half and white pearl on the back half. These three colors in combination are at the top of my favorites and the taped version of this pattern was productive. As with all the strobe patterns, this one lends itself well to the use of lure tape in the form of dots or the DS Tape Shapes. I have already put this together with a white pearl UV skirt and it looks real fishy. As we move into January and February, the strobe will become available in the FB 5 and 6 sizes as well. Give the strobes a try, I think you will like them. All three of the other Strobe Patterns in the size 7 have been re-stocked as well.
Nov 2, 2012--Watermelon Seed Series

The success of the original neon watermelon (upper right in image) prompted some trials with other combinations. The patterns shown in the image to the left are now available in the #7 FB series blade in limited quantities with more on the way very soon. These patterns will also be available in the size 6 FB in the coming month or so. The neon pattern is available in pearl back and all glow with the three new patterns available in brass back. More patterns are on the way including Metallic Pink w/Big Chartreuse center dot in sizes 5,6 and 7 along with Metallic Green w/Big Chartreuse center dot in sizes 5 and 6.
Tubing Variety Pack

The three most popular colors of Spinner Dave's UV Hook Tubing are now available in a variety pack. The pack contains 20 inches of each Fl. Red/Fl. Green and Chartreuse tubing for a total of 5 feet. This pack will definitely cover a large variety in your hook tubing needs.
9/10/12--New Glow Big Dot Series

Now available in stock, ready to ship are the new Glow Big Dot Series Blades. Available in the #6 and #7 FB series blades, these are standard super glow on both sides with super glow, colored dots on the front of the blades. Both sizes are also available in blue dot--not pictured here. The lower photo to the left illustrates what the glow dots look like when enhanced with the High Intensity UV Dots. The transparent UV tape really makes the glow paints light up. The glow base also acts as a nice background for the DS Tape Shapes as well. More taping ideas will be posted shortly.
The 4.5" double glow skirts match up nice with these Glow Big Dot Series Blades and the 3.5" glow skirt with Super Glow Beads is a great match, particularly on the #6 size. This series is the answer to quite a few customers looking for more patterns incorporating super glow finishes. Some pretty good success in the early trials of this series promises some good results in the future...thanks to all of you that asked for expansion in the glow products.

6/15/12

Spinner Dave's is excited to be able to offer some new Musky Baits from Musky Maid Products. These baits feature Spinner Dave's components and are made by some very avid Musky Fishermen that know what goes into an effective bait. They have designed a four-pack of baits that will give the Musky fisherman a selection of baits that will cover a variety of conditions and give you a bait that the biggest Musky in the lake has never seen. We look forward to expanding the line as more field testing is completed. Personally, I am looking forward to fishing with the Musky Maid experts in the fall to see how these baits work in person. To see more of what Musky Maid has to offer, go to www.muskymaid.com
5/30/2012--UV Lure Tape proving very effective...
The new 2" wide strips of UV lure tape are proving to be a very effective product. I have been very impressed with the results so far in using it on my flashers and divers and will soon be using it on my spinner blades. Not too many things come along that make you take notice in fishing gear if you have been around it a long time. But this tape, available in 4 colors presently, is really making an impression, not just on me but a majority of my customers that have been trying it out. There will soon be 2 more colors available and all six of the colors will soon be available in the DS Tape Shapes. This tape is definitely worth the time to try it out.
5/30/2012--New "Strobe" patterns and new FB #3, 4 and 5 patterns

I have added some new patterns in some smaller blade sizes. In the FB (fat boy aka cascade), I have added hammered gold with hot tip colors...chartreuse, red, orange and green (top image on left). This has been something that many of my customers have been wanting. They are gold plated for maximum flash combined with a hex hammered pattern and the colors are bright, fluorescent mix of colors. I have also added, in the FB 5 and 6, two of my most popular patterns, the Brass/Lemon Lime Tip and the Brass/Rainbow tip (image on the right).
The other new patterns now available in a #7 FB are what I call my "Strobe" patterns (bottom 3 images on left). The blades have color on opposite sides of the front and back. This creates a real nice strobe-like effect as the blade spins. I have been using taped up versions for a couple seasons now with some real good success. These patterns are great as is but also lend themselves real well to tape dots or high contrast UV dots on one or both sides. Be sure to take a look at these and the other new items now available on the online store.

Musky Blade Page 3/23/12

Precision Image
Brown Frog
on an FB7 Blade
I have added a page to the online store that is geared toward the Musky Fishery. After talking to some avid Musky fisherman, I pulled blades from a variety of categories and put them in one place to make it easier to find blades that translate to that fishery. The highlight of this category is the new Precision Image blades that I am adding over the spring and summer months. There are a couple patterns available now for pre-ordering with a number of others on the way shortly. This Precision Image finish will soon be available on a number of patterns geared toward the Salmon Fishery. This is very exciting stuff and I am sure you will be impressed as you get a look at these patterns. This will be a relatively limited edition kind of thing with pre-ordering an essential part of getting blades. I will make details and patterns available as soon as possible so be sure to keep an eye out...
Crystal UV Coating

Current selection of Crystal UV.
The UV craze has prompted a lot of experimentation on my part, trying to figure out what information is valid and most importantly, what translates into catching fish. My new Crystal UV Coating (C-UV Series) is a very unique process that not only looks great but holds up well and ultimately catches fish. Is it THE secret to end all? Maybe not but it is sure is raising some eyebrows with its effectiveness. The quality of this finish is instantly obvious and will definitely make you take notice. As with all new products, the introduction of patterns will be in stages with the most popular/effective patterns the first to be added to the online store selection. Inventory should be available by the end of November with supply increasing throughout the show season and spring of 2012. The image to the left shows the patterns that are currently available with the coating added.
Please note: As of March 2012, the selection of Crystal UV Coated Patterns has expanded to include Colorado 3, 4 and 5 sizes. B10 3, 4 and 5 sizes. FB Series sizes 5, 6 and 7.

Here's the Newest Additions to the Online Store...

New "micro-glitter" finishes available soon!
Blade patterns are now available that utilize a new and exclusive iridescent finish. the image to the left shows this new finish will be used as an accent on a variety of blade styles and sizes and will be available in a number of color patterns that will be used on select patterns on the new "color back" blade and spinner series. The colors have a "micro" glitter look to them that jump out in all lighting conditions. The new "color back" option will be available on a variety of existing patterns and a few new ones. With six colors available, pink, red, blue, black, green and chartreuse, you can expect this line to grow quickly. Initial offering of this line should be around the first of December with a good flow in time for the show season in Jan/Feb.
Owner Hooks

I am excited to be able to offer Owner Hooks to my online store selection. Owner's reputation for quality coupled with performance in the field so the selling these products is easy. Presently the selection is limited to hooks and ball bearing swivels but will expand quickly. Please feel free to contact me with the Owner products you would like to see carried. Owner hooks will now be an option on my entire spinner selection. On my River Series spinners, a specialty red Owner single hook will now be standard on the entire line. The river series will be expanded with more patterns and skirted varieties in time for the show season and spring fisheries. You should find my availability and pricing attractive.
#9 Alaska Mag Blade

#9 Alaska Mag Blade.
Image is actual size.
The Alaska Mag Blade is now available in smaller size 9. It is stamped from the same thick, .025" gauge brass, slightly larger overall than the #7 FB Series Blade, it is a nice "in between" size blade. The #10 Alaska Mag was a bit too much blade for some so the #9 is a great alternative to downsize a bit but still have a blade that has a great feel. Hammered Hex Pattern copper and nickel are available now with painted patterns on the way. Along with some patterns already offered, some of the new painted patterns in this series will include the new iridescent accents and iridescent colored back patterns. Couple these new patterns with the DS Tape Shapes and High Contrast UV Dots that fit nicely on this blade, there are countless pattern possibilities. This blade will definitely be spinning behind my boat during the 2012 season. 8 patterns are now available--see image to left.
