pat28 Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Hi everyone! I am looking for a wire bender/tackle maker to make large pike (or small musky)-sized spinnerbaits. I first looked into the Boggs, but read your wise input about it limiting bait size. Now, I am trying to find the Hagen's in Canada, but to no avail so far. However, I have come across luremaking.com's professional tackle maker. Has anyone here used it? Any thoughts? Or else, if you know of a canadian source for the hagens, it would be much appreciated! Thanks for your help! Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apdriver Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) That is a Hagen’s. Might even have their name on it when you receive it. http://www.luremaking.com/catalogue/catalogue-index/catalogue-items/commercial_tackle_maker.htm Edited February 23, 2019 by Apdriver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat28 Posted February 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Thanks Appdriver! I kept looking at closeups of both and was wondering. I was afraid it might be a cheaper spinoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Now that I see a pic, yes that is a Hagens's and it is a very good wire bender. If you are going to use this for bending wire for Musky, there is an optional adapter for heavier wire bending. If you can afford it get that as well. It will be worth your while when you get over .040 diameter wire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
