dlaery Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 On page 153 in the newest Hagen's catalog are some screw eyes. they are nickel plated brass. 0.040" diameter. I am looking at the 2 smallest sizes, one has a closed eye the other is open. In the open eyed one, is that made to put on something like a swivel or hook and then bend the eyelet closed? Is that strong enough to catch panfish 2 or 3 lbs? thanks! sorry for the dumb question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Yes, if the wood you are using is strong. I know largemouth bass are really a sunfish, like bluegill, but are you really getting into 3lb panfish?

dlaery Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 actually this is to go in lead. I think he wants this strong enough to be able catch a 3lb crappie in Mississippi. I have been asked to help make the mold. I have never used these screw eyes, I thought it might be better than having a custom wire made to fit in a jig mold with slight modification. Thanks!
