tunderwood01 Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 I am looking to buy a wire bender and am not sure wich one to buy. I will mostly be making spinnerbaits but want the ability to produce other forms as well. I have been looking at the Boggs and the Hagens but I cannot decide. Can someone help sway my decision? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Party Crasher Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 I have them both and I now use a round nose pliers. Invest in a really nice round nose pliers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaBasser Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 I would purchase the lilttle blue bender. I have the Boggs, and Hagens benders also, but the little blue bender is what I use most of the time. Also it only cost around $24.00.

tunderwood01 Posted December 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Will the Little Blue Bender bend eyes and loops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaBasser Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 It will bend eyes, loops.. not really. You could, you would have to position the wire a couple of times to do it. I use the Boggs or Hagens for that. But spinnerbaits, buzzbaits lil blue bender works great. PaBasser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topher Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 I have all of the wire formers that Hagen's makes, and they are all pretty good, and they are all pretty affordable for those who wholesale tackle out, or have a retail market, as it will pay for itself. But, if you are only making a few baits for yourself, I would go to Sears and get a pair of roundnose pliers. I have never tried the Bogg's bender, so don't know how well that one works... Good Luck!

leafmatter Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 I use the worth tool, but micromark has a good range of benders. Here's a link to micromark, hope it helps http://www.ares-server.com/Ares/Ares.asp?MerchantID=RET01229&Action=Catalog&Type=Product&ID=60346 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WidowMaker Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 I called Hagens and requested a copy of the instructions for their large wire bender.....i figure this should give me an idea just what it can and cannot do. What about the WORTH wire benders.....has anyone had any experience with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
