Terrydabassman Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 By Terrydabassman PDF Tutorial Attached These are the tools I used, pliers, 20 gage stainless wire I bought from Ace Hardware, tape measure, a drill bit, and a vise. Put the drill bit in the vise upside down to form the eye size I want. Cut a 3" piece of wire. Then bent it in half. Place it around the drill bit. Give it a squeeze with the pliers. Then again up close to the drill bit. It comes off looking kind of like a carter pin. Now I put the cut end in an Exacto knife handle and tighten it down. Put the Exacto knife handle in a hand held drill. Place the loop back on the drill bit and turn on the drill and start twisting. This is what it looks like when done. This is the finished product. You can finish off the ends any way you wish. I use 5 min epoxy and half way fill the hole and coat the twisted wire and insert making sure it's straight.I've pulled on these after they've set, you'll break the wood before these will ever pull out. It makes tuning wood crank baits a breeze. Hope this helps some lure makers.

Fishwhittler Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Great tutorial! One thing, try using vise-grips to twist the wire. It's simpler and it has worked very well for me. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
