Triton Mike Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 I'm looking for some small diameter preformed spinnerbait wire forms. Looking for forms in the .026 range with atleast a 1.5 inch body arm and a 2.5 inch blade arm lenght. Also has anyone had any experience in bending your own spinnerbait forms? If so is there a homemade job you can share. I'd like to do a loop instead of a "R" bend. If there is not a homemade job is there a cheapy wire former that you would reccomend for making spinnerbait forms out of .026 wire and making looped wire ties. I have the Janns and Stamina catalogs handy. Thanks in advance Triton Mike bucca1@aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtrs5kprs Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 T-Mike... 0.026 is pretty thin stuff. I have made a few baits out of 0.029 and they just don't hold up very well. Should be able to bend a good closed eye loop with a pair of round bend pliers. I use a little Blue Bender for R-bends, have a Jann's wire tool but do not care for it. Good round bends rock for that kind of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glaucus Posted September 13, 2003 Report Share Posted September 13, 2003 Hagen's makes a "coil bending tool", order #96-30-30, the 2001 price was $44.95. I made my own, it looks like the middle one shown here http://www.ksmetals.com/Accessories/default.asp#wireform Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
