This is exactly the issues I was running into. The tools I was using had too much surface area and the glue was sticking to the tool. I started using a small kitchen SS skewer that I imagine works similar to your bodkin. So far this works better than the exacto knife or tweezers.
Thanks guys, guess I'm on the right track but definitely need more practice. It's a slow process. Only other tool I could think of would be a long needle like the ones used for stitching and embroidery. But was wondering if you could see the hole marks left behind.
Probably a silly question, but I'll ask anyway. What type of tool are ya'll using to grab 3D eyes off the sheet and apply to your lures? I tried tweezers but they didn't work that well. Now, I'm using a small X-Acto blade. Looking for other options.
Does someone here have the tabletop machine and capabilities to make a wire form at least .062? If this is a possibility, I will send you a picture and then a sample. Feel free to send a PM or email Troy at: Fishing@StriperSniper.com
Thanks!
