sawzall Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I was wondering if the tack-l tool does the same as the boggs tacklemaker. I do inline spinners (.028 and smaller) and the carolina rig shortcuts on wire. The Tack-l tool is half the price if it does all the same things.

Fatman Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 One thing on the Tackle tool is you're not going to get really small eyes like the boggs!! I'll post some of the stuff I can make on the Tackle tool, that I havn't seen made on the boggs - I think I also have an instruction sheet on the boggs at home and what it can make. I'll post more later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatman Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) Here's some of the spinners Look at the size of the eye, the one on the left is a Rooster tail and the one on the right my copy cat You can also make spring coils for old style spinners If you look in the bottom pic in the middle you'll see a wire coiled above the bottom , You push the spring up put a hook or fly whater you want and then squeeze the wires back together and pull the spring down.

Fatman Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Posting the differences between what the Netcraft one will do. I've posted my spinners on other boards and have had the question "Is there a way to get a smaller eye". I always try and post as much info as I can and let the person make their final decision. I've taken to using roundnose plier to make smaller eyes on my 1/32nd spinners as I don't like the big eye from the Janns former, and the Worth hand former is kinda dangerous to your fingers!!

ING Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 ........... I don't like the big eye from the Janns former, and the Worth hand former is kinda dangerous to your fingers!! Do you mean that finger could stick in the wire's eye? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
