Help with buzzbaits and spinnerbaits

[rsinyard]

I have recently started making my own buzz and spinnerbaits and I have a question. On a buzzbait, how do you bend the 90 once you put on the blade and rivet? And on a spinnerbait, how do you bend the end after putting on the clevis and upper blade? I buy my wires already bent so do I need to buy a wire bender to finish off the ends?

Thanks

You don't have to use a wire former, try these for simple bends:

If you are using premade forms they are probably pretty heavy wire. I usually put the blade and rivet on and then bend it at the point I want with a heavy pair of needle nose pliers. Has always worked for me.
