For those of you who like winter lure projects, it is always a pain in the butt trying to find the bits and pieces that make your project happen. Among the more difficult hardware items to find are creeper wings. Most creeper wings are usually hand made or unavailable from creeper manufacturers. Recently, a different approach to the creeper wing hardware has been introduced by the folks at Moore’s Lures.

Moore’s Lures is now offering complete sets of creeper wings with all the Mounting Hardware for $4.50. The wings come in 3 finishes, Brass, Nickel and White on the outside, with Nickel on the inside. The wings also come with tuning instructions. The wings are made from brass, so they will not deform the way that aluminum wings will.

As you can see from the photos, the wings are actually oversized willow leaf blades with a slot cut at one end to facilitate the lure body mounting hardware. The screweye that is pictured is used as the mechanism to adjust the angle of the wing in relationship to the body.

This is not a perfect approach to creeper wings. There is the potential for the screweye adjustment to change over time and through use but then you will have that problem with any creeper.

The bottom line here is that nothing is perfect. A creeper is a good winter project to consume those long months waiting for the ice to go out.
