Wiggling Wire Forms - What to Do?

[Unagi]

Newbie here and a virgin "poster". Firstly thanks to all, the site is extremely informative and has had a positive impact on my creations. As a function of courtesy I've read through as many post regaring wire forms and have searched the site several times, however my specific dilemma has yet to be discussed. Your input would be greatly appreciated.

The wire form eventually lossens inside the spinnerbait head resulting in a small yet noticeable amount of "play". Understandably, a wire form bait has a limited life expectancy, and given the costs of producing your own, the life may be short yet clearly still a bargain and enjoyable aswell. I've experienced varying durability in my baits yet a good hard day (15+ fish) seems to be the average. The variables specific to my question are as follows;

1) Do-it Molds either style "H" (3/8 -1/2) or new "Ultra Minnow" (3/8 - 1/2)

2) R-bend stainlesss - .040"

3) Mustad 32608N 6/0

Firstly I've experimented with the lead alloy, commencing with almost pure lead, and adding tire weights to increase hardness. Not overly scientific though, merely threw in a few.

I've added a few "kinks" to the form inside the head to eliminate the straight wire to hook attachment and also to adjust both the length of the first arm and the hook length.

Though I am not complaing but much like many of you, we work so hard on finding the best components, creatively blending skirts strands and going Picasso on the paint process, I would like to maximize the durability factor. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanking you in advance,

FishSBC.

Hey man, welcome aboard. I like to use pure wheel weights for my spinners or add some tin to make the lead harder. Tight Lines and look forward to seeing you around, JIM

I make them with the hardest lead I can get to pour.

Blacked the mold, crank up the heat.

This will stop what you are talking about.

Also if your hook eye wire link is to far back near the colar it can get loose back there also.

Right on guys...it is the lead. Goes against everything you see about ease of pouring, but it needs to be hard lead if using any kind of exposed insert.
