I build my own "Pop gear" for trolling. That includes the spinners that run behind the blades.

One of my spinners on the boat seat, under the trout.

I have made some inline spinners like that,but find I have never made one that works as well as the Mepps I prefer. I do make small spinner baits that work just fine on warm water species.
When I was a kid growing up we used to troll with what we called "Christmas Tree Spinners" like that and I often wondered why they attracted trout. Maybe appeared to be a feeding frenzy.

The big blade "pop gear" rigs do look and sound like a school of trout in a frenzy. They create enough flash and sound to bring fish from a distance.. 20" of leeder and a small spinner or hook and worm trailing behind.

I made spinners of all kinds some years ago. I was able to duplicate any Mepps or Vibrax spinner for 1/4 the cost of a factory one. And they all worked the same as the expensive ones. I built my own jigs and spoons too. Cast my own sinkers out of free used wheelweights. You can still get everything you need to make anything you need from JansNetcraft. Do It makes moulds for sinker and jigs.
