Time to cattle prod those "get your feet wet" nerves!

Once again! Time to cattle prod those get your feet wet nerves!
After going through a cycle of making some cowbells, the cable was left on my workbench along with other spinner clutter (it's a mess, like my desk), on a cold December day.
So I got to thinking, why not make a some small trout spinners using cable vs wire, and bucktails?
Sounded like a good idea, so here's what I came up with.
I bet I could put these at the end of the cowbells for trolling or just fish them like spinners in streams and river current.
I think I'll make some with hoochies and banded zonker trebles too.
This is a hoochie treble.

In the zone, here's another custom idea. Cement mirrors on to the blades using the stuff your dentist uses on fillings and caps, it's water proof.
Inline mirrored Buzzers. Put it in front of your cowbell. These ought to shake something loose!
These ought to flash a bit!
It's cold outside, what could I do!
Cheers and Noise on the Line!
Last night I recognized I needed to provide additional information on each Spinner models' component differences and similarities.
My first shot at it, shows and image of the spinner, and it's weight. Bulleted Text lists blade size and style, components - Glass, Metal, Plastic for head, body and tail beads plus size and type of hook.
The most prevalent type of hooks used on wholesale spinners are trebles. During shopping there is an option box listing other hook types on most spinner items - Treble (default), Single, and barbless Treble are the common option set. I'll be refining this over time.
Here's a screen scrape of a typical models specification

Still working on the WIX website. The Home page has two slideshows, one of spinner models for shopping and another of customer fish pics.

Over the years, my son Ben and I have made a 'bunch' of spinners. Lots of models, lots of colors, lots of different blade styles. Boxes of finished product and wall full of pegs 8 deep.
Cowbells, Spinnerbaits, Walley rigs, Small spinners, Large spinners, and Custom spinners. In certain cases, fishermen in fishing forums came up with new ideas.
Overstock, that I need to clean out to make space and simplify running the business.
When I sell displays to most tackle shops. I fill a wooden display with 48 spinners, walk in, show it and sell it wholesale for $110. Quick and easy. These owners are busy and if they a have a spot for a display, they deckscrew it to a wall or it sits on a countertop surface that day. A major retailer would have a buyer and purchase orders and draft a long list of items and quantities preparing for a seasons worth of inventory.
Anyway, I'm still looking for tackle distributors, but in the meantime, I still want to reduce finished inventory and make some wall and shelf space available for other use.
So, I came up with the idea of cutting prices down below wholesale levels on Spinners that have more inventory then I'll ever sell.
These deals are for small and medium spinners only, anything under 1/2oz
Cowbells, Spinnerbaits, Walleye Rigs, Musky Spinners and Olympic Bullets are not in the deal.
Here's the catch, to get the deal you let me pick them for you, just like you're a small tackle shop, lol. I get to move more product at cost and it saves you time and money.
You can use the Contact form on the website for any preferences you would like to mention, like a few colors you prefer or those you don't, etc. The hooks that are on them are trebles.
Take a look around, these are the types of spinners you'll get
There are currently four Overstock items set up.
If you're familiar with our products and want more or just want some new fishing swag to pass out for stocking stuffers or fill out some space in your tackle box, one of these deals is a great way to stock some new tackle.
Too many spinners? Nope, you can never have too many!
Maybe you have a favorite local Tackle shop that wants some new swag?
