highwayman Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Has anyone tried bead-chain as a swimbait joint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I remember years ago someone tried that. The strength of the bead chain wasn't enough for hinges. If you have found some really strong chain, it might work, but it didn't at that time. Try seaching for bead chain on the site search feature.

highwayman Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Netcraft has some that are rated for 35# test.If two bead chains are used per section I would think that would be plenty strong.I'm trying to make a Tru-Tungston four section clone.The flexibility of the bead chain is what is appealing.I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and buy some and give it a try.I've got a couple other projects on yhe bench that aren't as flexible as I would like ;maybe bead chain can rescue these too.
