spoonpluggergino Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I made this simple little tool to make the final neat twist for the .051" wire and is slim enough to do the final loop I start my loop with the Knipex round nose pliers Than I insert the wire in the Jig and use lineman's electrician plier to twist the wire How to make the Jig need a piece of 1/4 stock by 1.0 or 1.5 inches and around 4 inches long by 1/4 inches thick Drill press 10-32 tap and matching drill Cut the slot first ( I use a hacksaw and finish up with Dremel tool) Last drill and tap the screw hole use a s/s 10-32 bolt about 1 inch long cut the head off and notch the very end of the bolt Note the notch traps the wire Have Fun Gino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoonpluggergino Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Added the eye loop bender in conjunction with the wire Jig, eliminating the round nose pliers. Muskie bucktail .051 wire easily done, save on the fingers to push and bend the wire Gino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimpNoodle Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I'd be willing to buy one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadman Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Thanks Cadman , I am not sure I would know how to use a cad file Gino Gino, I would give you a build drawing so you can have all the dimensions that you could disperse to anyone that requested it. I would give you a PDF of it. I see you are in Glen Ellyn Illinois, I live in Libertyville, IL. Do you have a phone number I can call you?

fshng2 Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Nice tool Gino. Do you also use a different tool for the hook or just form another loop with this tool and attach it with a split ring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
