Been Making Shrimp Tails for many long years .. day in and day out hard to beat most any ones med. Pin fish can "Nip off" any Plastisol. I catch mostly "Specks" & "Reds" with them ... but have a long list of Salt Water and Fresh Water Species that have fallen prey to the Shrimp Tail.

I have a good size program that I have made with FileMaker that I seem to be adding to all the time .. over10 years old. From purchase of raw materials to invoicing on sales. Some can do part of it w/spread sheet ,, I prefer the Data Base approach.

Ben Looking good now when you do more I don't know how much better it could get -
I think what ever method works the best for you .. Fortunately I have in the past worked a lot with FileMaker Pro and I have created a data base thru PO, Work Order and invoices that is pretty well automatic .. Still gotta enter the data ... I am not a spread sheet person .. If I had to build this for some one it would cost a bundle as I have worked on it and tweaked it for over 15 years. ... Depends on how much information you need ....

Just to throw a little more into this. In this photo is how I build one to keep down as much chance of break as I can. The Weakest Point is where the form wire enters the lead as this is where most of the bending takes place .. The Old "Safety Pin" type coil eye has no sharp bends. Sharp bends are one of the biggest breakage points. I think the "Coil Eye" might produce more vibration with this lighter wire. (the photo is not the best .. That is not paint on the wire)

Added 2 cents ... The heavier the lure the heavier the wire .. that's why on the smaller I concentrate more on the 1/4 oz. and less and on occasions use it on 3/8 oz. You will get far more bending of the wire on the heavier .. You do have to watch/feel for when the wire softens when re bending it. I have heard of some commercially produced ones breaking easily and I think it is the wire they are using .. have no idea as to the problem (temper & etc.)
