This tutorial covers the assembly of a popular Tandem Spinnerbait (featuring two blades). Be sure to watch the assembly video at the end.
Required Tools & Parts
You can source individual items or grab an all-in-one Spinnerbait Assembly Kit from the website:
- Tools: Long Nose (Needle Nose Pliers), Round Nose Pliers, and Split Ring Pliers.
- Spinnerbait Head & Frame: Choose your favorite Spinner Bait frame.
- Skirt: Bass Academy or premium silicone 5” skirt.
- Blades: One smaller Colorado blade (front) and one larger Willow leaf blade (rear).
- Hardware: 1 Clevis, 2-3 Metal Beads, 1 Spacer, and 1 Ball Bearing Swivel.
Step-by-Step Assembly Tutorial
Step 1: Install the Skirt
- Apply a small amount of lip gloss to the spinnerbait head skirt collar.
- Slide the Bass Academy silicone skirt over the hook point and push it firmly up onto the skirt collar.
Step 2: Add the Front (Colorado) Blade
- Slide your smaller Colorado blade onto the curved clevis bracket.
- Slide the clevis directly down onto the open metal arm of the wire frame. Ensure the cup (convex side) of the blade faces backward toward the hook.
- Drop 1 or 2 metal beads down the shaft right after the clevis to act as smooth bearings.
Step 3: Add the Spacer and Top Bead
- Slide a metal spinnerbait spacer onto the wire shaft. This ensures the two blades stay separated and do not interfere with rotation.
- Drop one final bead on top of the spacer.
Step 4: Form the Wire Loop
- Take your Round Nose Pliers and grip the very tip of the open upper wire frame.
- Bend the wire down toward the hook to form a tight, neat 3/4 circle loop. Leaving it slightly open allows you to slide the hardware on next.
Step 5: Attach the Rear (Willow) Blade
- Use your split ring pliers to attach a small split ring to the eyelet of your Willow leaf blade.
- Thread a premium ball bearing swivel onto that same split ring.
- Hang the open end of the swivel onto the open loop you made on the wire arm in Step 4.
- Use your long nose pliers to crimp the wire loop completely closed. Make sure there are no gaps so your blade assembly doesn't fly off while casting!

Great for Spinnerbaits!
by Southern Comfort
Love the extending tails. Great action and serves as a tantalizing trailer on my spinnerbaits. No need for a plastic trailer with these. Nice!
Good Action
by Mercury4Stroke
Not sure what it is about these skirts, but fish love them. I use these on spinnerbaits with good success. Pike also love these, but I guess that's not all bad :) They seem to stand up to the beating they take, which is a bonus!
Works on swim jigs too

I use these on swim jigs with some good success. Extended tails give off lots of action if I keep the lure moving. These skirts also allow me to fish my jigs without adding a plastic trailer, which is a bonus. Good product.
