I'm new to tackle making and was looking to purchase a wire forming jig. I'd like it to be able to form trout spinners up to Muskie size. I have a few questions that hopefully you can help me with. I've searched the web up and down for a good but inexpensive wire forming/bending tool and the kind of answers I'm looking for are from somebody that's used them. I'm interested in two that are in the price range of under a $100. The Twistech and the Boggs. I've seen good things about both and also bad. So I'm looking to you guys and gals for a well informed decision. So my questions are these: FOR THE TWISTECH, 1. Is it great for trout sized baits? I've heard it makes large loops that might be to big for smaller baits. 2. I've heard it can't do .051 and the .062 wire size. The .041 has around 325lbs breaking strength and the .062 is 360lbs, So will the .041 size be durable enough for Muskie and is it worth buying the .041 upgrade package? 3. I'd like the ability to turn out quite a few lures and on a broad size. Is this unit capable of producing lots of lures without breaking? 4. Is their anything else I should know about it that has occurred in using it that I haven't heard? FOR THE BOGGS, 1. How we'll does this unit do loops? 2. Is it durable? 3. How we'll does it do trout sized spinners all the way up to Muskie? 4. Does it handle the larger wire sizes quite well and is it worth buying the upgrade as well? Your help is greatly appreciated.
