Spinner lure with ring, dish, body/weight and hook
A spinner is in terms of sport fishing, a lure designed to make noise underwater in order to catch the fishes' attention instead of mimicking food.
The build of a spinner consists of a metal pin with a dish around it which will make niose when water is flowing by due to the fishing line being reeled in, almost like a fan or turbine. Below the dish metal weighs are placed in order to make the lure sink and to keep the dish from getting stuck in the hook which is placed at the end of the pin. The hook, which is a three-hooked version, as seen on the wobbler, is often camouflaged in a soft material like feathers.
