Thanks for the reply... I would rather pay someone to do them for me. Although I only need 200 as a prototype now, my required quantity will be much, much higher. I was hoping someone know of someone that may have a machine that dose this. Since I will need a "bunch" of these, bending by hand or making a jig would not be a good idea in the long run. But until I find someone to do this for me, the bolt and block method is what I will do. Thanks! Jarron

Thanks for the info. The 0.92 are just too big looking for my lures. With the testing I have now done, the .072 eyes can withstand over 100lbs of pressure at all angles. I will however note that the screw eyes are not glued and bends at that pressure. It makes sense that if the rings fail before the eyes, the lure is strong enough. By the way I found the eyes cheapest at: http://www.mooreslures.com/ Thanks again, Jarron

Hello, I need about 200 of these "bent up". Any idea who can do this for me at a good price? The overall legnth will be about 10" and using .073 stainless or close to it. Thanks, Jarron

Hello! First let me say that I have been reading these forums for a long time but this is my first post. Great information and great people! Thank you! My question is in testing the strength of the lure from front eyelet to rear. Currently I test by placing an in line scale and applying pressure. This seems to work well with results of over 65lbs on a 10" muskie lure. However, it makes sense to me that if fishing line is rated at 50lbs wouldn't the line break prior to there being 60lbs of pressure placed on the lure by the fish? Also how much strength should a lure like this be able to hold for muskie? Your input is greatly appreciated. Maybe you can shed some light into this for me. Also anyone know where to get 1.5" stainless .073 screw eyes? Thanks, Jarron
