Louviere83 Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Do you guys know if there is some kind of device that can twist this wire up after its through the eye of the jig head. I've attached a picture of what I'm trying to do. I'm wanting to do this without using a split ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fshng2 Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Check LPO (Lure Parts Online) Or you can clamp a drill bit in a vise (smooth side up). Then grab end of wire with vise grip and form a loop around the drill bit. Lastly make two wraps and your done. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=you+tube+tail+wrap+a+lure&view=detail&mid=812281143F5983B6E3F4812281143F5983B6E3F4&FORM=VIRE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's KISS engineering (keep it simple stupid). I didn't see that in do-its catalog, what molds do you use?

I didn't see that in do-its catalog, what molds do you use? I believe it's Do-its Ultra spinner bait head. I make the short-arm wire forms myself w/ a Worth wire bender and .040 stainless wire. Here's another version w/ a custom spinner bait head from Chris Archer of Ultra-Molds.The spinner bait head is not painted and also features a custom ,extended wire keep for the soft-bait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBlaze Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 A Hagens wire former will do this and many other things such as making your own wire forms for spinnerbaits,, buzzbaits, in lines and others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
