John, it seems like you are the only one until now...
I am giving it some more time, just to give others a chance too.

That's nice of you to offer but I rarely use spinners. When I do they are very small and for Brook Trout.

Throw my name in the hat for the free spinner "Kees", I'd like to see if the bass down in Kentucky Lake would hit it, because I do fairly well on safety-pin type spinnerbaits. Also, I'm still on the lookout for an autographed flat item of Jan Eggars, and if I remember right you're the guy with the connection. Let me know-  |

Kees, I apologize for bogging down your give-away. I was away on a week long environmental conference (I am an Illinois high school science teacher) in northern Wisconsin (Land O Lakes), where the wireless service was sketchy at best, and to be honest I didn't spend my time outside of our planned classroom activities glued to a computer. I hope John enjoys his new spinner, and you keep up the good work making them!
I did get a chance to fish during the week on our down time after class exercises, and even though it was unseasonably rainy the entire week I found a couple hours to take out one of the canoes on one of the two lakes the campus sits on.
The conference was at a place called Conserve School, which is a semester long boarding high school that straddles the state line between WI and MI, right by the Sylvania Wilderness Preserve of Michigan's U.P.
What an amazing place for people interested in the outdoors!
I'll definitely be encouraging my daughter to do it for a semester during her junior year in high school, ten years from now when she is that age.
Anyone with kids should check it out, the name again is "Conserve School", founded by millionaire J. Lowenstine.
Even with the rain, I spent every free minute I could using the amazing wilderness on campus, even got an opportunity to do a 5 lake 5 portage guided canoe trip through the Sylvania Wilderness done by one of the teaching staff, unbelievable wilderness.
And, my brief fishing opportunity - two nice 2 pound bass and 2 blugills (one may have been the biggest bluegill I've ever caught, was as big as my face) all on a white Roadrunner spinning jig with chartruese grub, all released, in under an hour. (sorry no pictures, the only camera I had with was my IPhone, and I didn't bring it in the canoe for fear of getting it wet)
