finlander Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 How many install two eyes? I'm asking those who use a thru wire system. What do you tie in the wire to, if the system uses separate wires? www.wishmasterbigbait.com displays his as such. I can't determine if he uses one wire and has fun steering it thru the dive lip holes. Thanks. the Finn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 On balsa thru wire baits (the only ones I thru wire) I split the bait with a razor blade and lay in a wire frame for the hangers and the line tie. Trace around the wires with a fine pen and then use a nail set to recess the wires so the halves fit back together neatly. Glue the halves back together with 5 min epoxy and it will be stronger than ever, with an epoxy backbone. I like a brass wire line tie but prefer stainless hook hangers, so usually just run the line tie about 1 1/2 inch into the crank. Although not connected to the hangers, it is very secure when epoxied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finlander Posted June 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 What I am asking is who uses 2 tow eyes when building their larger lures, like a Believer lure or a Wishmaster, large lures for pike and muskie. I have never seen them on a small bass lure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
