cadman Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I believe, if you want stainless steel you will have to make them yourself. I buy the copper ones, and they seem to do fine. There is a post in the Wire Bait Forum on how to make them yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marjam Posted August 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 thanks guys, copper is fine but big smallmouth tend to bend them and when you bend them back they break. i am not sure if the heat changes the copper or what but i hate to go to the trouble to make a bunch and they not be very strong. again thanks, marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigmaster Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 heat will indeed change the temper of the copper.....copper is fairly soft to begin with. The screws I have are stainless. drop me an email, I may be able to sell you a smaller qty if interested Regards JM www.daimonlures.com www.daimonlures.com/bassreview Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
