Roadkill Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Anyone know how to make this little triangle bend to which the hook is attached. I see it on a lot of vintage lures. Don't know it's purpose but would like to make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadkill Posted July 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Sorry Man, been trying to do just that and can't get this #$%^&^*$ thing to work. The bend I'm looking for is a small triangle with a loop in the bottom center to which the hook is attached. I've seen it on a "Floyd's Buzzer" and a "Hawaiian Wiggler" and a few other vintage lures. Those are easy to find on the net, so hope you can look up a pic and help. I apologize for the trouble you'll be going to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 You can do that easily, just make the loop with a squared off long nose pliers, that is whay the vintage lures look that way, because the bends weren't made with a round nose.

Vodkaman Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 I would make a peg board. It will be fiddly, but should work. You do the first set of bends on the peg board. Then put in a vice and complete the three whip turns. DAve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadkill Posted July 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 OK, Smalljaw & Vodkaman. Thanks for the help. I don't get a lot of chance to help others mostly because I'm still learning but I really appreciate the help I get from you guys and other TU members.
