Just checked it out. Thanks AlexB! Looks like that kit comes with everything to make 20 spinners, and I can customize them if I choose. Ie maybe spray different colors on the blades . 

Just saw this and it looks pretty straightforward:

It is.  I've been making quite a few spinners and its really easy, especially if you get a wireform (around $50-$80).  getting components is easy too, just gotta figure out best places to buy from.  To me, it seems like LurePartsOnline has the best overall prices, but there are a couple good ebay sellers too if you get discounts on ebay like coupons and whatnot.  Riverguidesupply on ebay has good things.  finding the big wide willow/cascade blades in chartreuse is tough.

Also, fisherman's warehouse has the best prices on the large spinner blades that I like for my silvertrons.  35 cents each for the size 7 in brass nickel or copper, even fluted ones.  thats cheaper than anyone else sells those online.

cool topic an art long gone but revived. Child hood friend of mine in Santa Cruz Dad loved to make his own spinners to fish San Lorenzo River in the very early 70s. probably got my passion for salmon and steelhead fishing from him And his son.
 my dad was a diver and loved the ocean. got a little bit from both of them.
 take it to the Extremes in the very early 90s started to pass out of the kayak in the ocean.
 cool post it's like a blast from the past that jogged my memory and who I am today
