The willow leaf spinner usually has a gang of two or three hooks attached behind it, baited with a whole baitfish, worms, a strip of pork rind, or squid. Another salt-water spinner often used is the so-called "fluke" spinner shown in Fig. 83. A pair of Colorado-shaped blades is used to make this spinner, mounting them on a heavy wire shaft with big glass or plastic beads. A single long-shank Carlisle hook is attached behind the blades and this is baited with a live killifish or other salt-water minnow. Figure 83. Fluke spinner. A somewhat similar spinner, which makes use of smaller Indiana type blades, is the "snapper" shown in Fig. 84. This also has a long-shanked hook, such as the Bridegport snapper pattern, attached at the rear. Figure 84. Snapper spinner. The spinners described and illustrated above do not cover every type made. But they are the basic types from which you can go on and make endless combinations of your own. 7 Jigs
