papamark Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Ok guys, I know someone out there knows what I am looking for and talking about. Is there something out there for spinnerbaits that you can use to secure the bent wire ( for the blade ) instead of pinching it down. I mean sonething you can slip over it and then secure it. I would like to find something like this to use. Thanks guys for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george12182 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I know have seen some name brand spinnerbaits that have something like this. When I get a chance I'll go through my box to see If I have any like this. Maybe try surgical tubing like you would use to put a trailer hook on. This would probably work as well. It's from barlows.

george12182 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 No prob. One thing though, the one on barlow's is only for .031 diamaeter wire and smaller. This is probably too small for most spinnerbaits. I've seen this on another site that came in a bigger size, just can't remember which one. I think it was either netcraft stamina or do-it.

Fatman Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I make those on my Netcraft wire former. The highest in wire I've gone to is .035 and that was tough. Not sure if the fancy wire formers make those or not though. Fatman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSC Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Papa What you are looking for are Leader Sleeves. The ones I have in nickle are for smaller than .030 wire ... (I use some really light wire on my spinner baits). They are available for large qtys only you can get them from ROSCO. When I get a chance I will look up the sizes ... They make them in a lot of sizes and finishes .. I use a lot of them in makeing a saltwater ready rig ... use a black one for this ...

disturbingiraq03 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 has anyone tried heat shrink tubing. i think it would be strong enough to hold it and it comes in a bunch of colors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
