finlander Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 I have probably posted this q in the past, but...I have a 14 inch crank and am downsizing the thru-wire diameter because my split rings are opening abit after I spin them on. What does everyone use?? I just bought .0625 at the welding store. Local lure maker gets 078 from his workplace. What does everyone think is overkill? Thank you.

If it fails, trust me, you didn't want to see the thing that broke it. I use the next size down in may of my smaller (6") lures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
