Joshua Russell Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Hello, I recently purchased a Boggs tackle maker to make musky spinners. The machine does a great job making the necessary loops and bends. Recently I began tying my tails on a coil of wire. I think this makes my tails look better, and plus I can get much more hair without interfering with the hooks. The problem is that once I close the loop on one end of the bait and add my weight (usually a egg sinker), the coil with my bucktail tied, beads, clevis and blade, I am unable to close the loop on the other end. It is frustrating, because the wire is not any longer than I use for the other spinners, where I tie the tail on the hook and attach with a split ring. Does anyone have any suggestions. Thanks so much, and God Bless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Splash Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 You will have to form the loop with a round nosed forming plier and a second pair of pliers to do the wrap. Do a few practice loops first, and they will come out fine. I build the 'Flamin' orange minnow' this way. You can view it in the gallery, or on my web site.
