Here's a quick video on how to make a very simple inline spinner.
Maybe you'll say this lure looks a little crude. However, I like this vid because it shows you don't have to sweat the details when it comes to making lures.
I've seen commercial products just like this selling for 2-3 bucks! I'll be the first to admit that's not a lot of money but, when it comes to making a lure from some stuff lying around and spending any money on something new, I'll take the free stuff every time.
When you try this, my advice is to stay away from guitar strings or piano wire if possible. I prefer stainless steel wire. The reason being piano wire and guitar stings are too "spingy" and resist crimping. On the other hand, if you don't have any stainless steel lying around, musical wires will work and are super strong. Just make sure you don't ruin a perfectly good instrument and stay away from string or wires that are wrapped. AND, most importantly, make sure any crimping areas are secure.
