Salmon Calamari with Stingers

 Just finished a new group of Test lures. These are Cowbell swag. Let the cowbell do the spinning, these squid lures will bring Salmon and large Trout into the boat!

The Squid plastic covers a 1/2oz spinnerbait body. I clipped off the stems and twisted the eye with a wire former, also aligning and straightening the wire bend in front body. 

The plastic squid slid over the eye, along the wire and over the body. That means you can replace it.

Decided a stinger would be a good idea, so made a loop, using a short length of cable between to crimp sleeves, attaching a worm collar. The cable loop cinches over the spinnerbait hook and gets crimped. 

Another plastic squid slides over worm collar and a crane swivel with a duo-lock snap is added on the tail end of the cable loop to enable a hook change or squid replacement, if you choose.

All the Squid have glow eyes, the light green one has a glow belly.

After making the Squid lures, I built some 15inch short cowbells to provide the churn. Both 3 blade and 4 blade choices. 10 different blade choices.
