Hey there fellow astronauts! I was wondering if any of you had a particular bender you used or liked better than another. Pliers arent doing the trick for me. Maybe i need a vise? Give me your thoughts on this subject.

Very recently I have begun to try and learn how to make some muskie lures. I do not want to invest in a commercial wire bender. I've watched videos on Youtube and they are very informative but I still have one problem, my wire eye always leans to the left or right, maybe its only in one direction. I am using a vise with a hex key or wrench sticking straight up from the jaws of the vise. One end I haol with either a lure or vise grips. The other end I also put a vise grips on. Is there a way to adjust my bent eye after I finish wrapping the wire? You can see from the image I uploaded that my two wires are not good enough. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have been tying hair jigs since the 1960's and I've gotton quite good at it, any questions on molding, powder painting, and tying, I may be able to return the favor. Thanks a lot. -Pau
