I would love to delve into the NY thing.
Yes rod building did invent the spinner.
Over at the other place I was the first one to share a development of the plug spinner my friend had come up with.He was using epoxy before Lefty was.As far as I know lefty was the first lure builder to sell lures with a epoxy coat..I would say the first ones I can remember where called lazer lures and the came out around 93 or 94..I could be off on the time frame..I have CRS..
My friend made these lures for striper's and snook in Fla. I could not believe the finish.
I ran home and made one up as he described it to me.Took one of my first plugs I had repainted and put the finish on it..When it was done I snapped it off on my first cast.When the bail on my 704 closed..I remember I went right to the tackle shop and bought my first 706 from that..
Around 2002,
I shared my info with that guy Jenty "Capt screw eyes"..I did the best I could to describe it as I only figured out how to use a camera last week..

Wrong..He used to use envirotex.
The he went to aristocrat or something which is like envirotex.
Not sure what he's doing these days.
I would not go out of my way to copy his finish..I have seen way better.Lefty's sell because of who he is..As much as the quality of the lure..
