pikeman Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Hi, I am a little bit laizy for not using the search option but I have 1 question Is there on the market an universal "thru wire former"? The main idea is that I want it to be configured to different dimensions for different lure types. I can do the nails on wood method but this implies using such a board for each lure independently. I want to use the thru wire configurations in two part molds for pouring urethane. Thanks, Marius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pikeman Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Consider making an adjustable 'nail' block. Should not be difficult. Dave yes , this should be easy, basically the lures are not so huge and I use 3 eyes for each, so you can start with 3 nails on 3 different metal boards interconnected with screws , a longer lure will require unscrewing the front and back eye-nails boards from the middle (of course the front will be closer to the middle board than the back) but, and there is a but , you still have to manually wrap around the wire , this leading space for imperfections Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) A cribbage board might work. Seriously, if you are only doing three or four different baits, you could do the appropriate hole patterns in a flat piece of hardwood, and just label which holes are for which bait. Basically, you wind up with a T shaped hole pattern, with the top of the T, the center line of the bait, having a series of holes for the line tie and the rear hook hanger, and the leg of the T having a series of holes for the belly hanger(s). I would probably use PVC, because that's what I have available. Any material that's hard enough to keep the holes from getting too sloppy.
