CoreyH Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) I'm looking at making some buzzbaits for bass fishing. What gauge wire is going to be best for bass fishing applications? I'd be making 3/8 - 1/2 oz baits. Also, in order to make clean looking R bends and other bends (like the downward bend in a Cavitron-type buzzbait), should I be able to do that with just a pair of round nose pliers, or am I going to want to have a wire bending/forming tool of some kind?

Hillbilly voodoo Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 I started making spinners when I was 8years old I have used all kinds of hand tools, made jigs for bending and I wish I just bought a commercial tackle maker from the start. I used to make a lot of wire baits and sold them to shops. this is what I use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoreyH Posted May 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Sorry guys...somewhat new to the board and I started with making crankbaits and this is where I always posted. Didn't even realize there was a separate forum for wire baits. I'll post my question there or look for the answer there. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
