chiefdano Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 http://store1.yimg.com/I/yhst-48240192686586_1864_4984662 I want to make something similiar to this. I can't for the life of me find a mold to make this kind of hook. Also, how would I go about making the wire? I'd like to make it a bit longer though and use different hardware, but i like the style. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WidowMaker Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 It appears to be an arky type jig with a hitch hiker plastics keeper. To make the wire you will need to aquire some catalogs that have lure building components and tools. You will need slit ring pliers, round nose jewelers pliers and a wire forming tool to evenly wind the wire around the shaft. The best wire to use is the Mason Brand which is listed under stainless steel lure building wire in the Barlows Tackle catalog.

Markell Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 chiefdano, WidowMaker pretty much nailed it. I am working on someting similar and instead of the hitch hiker, I am making a lead keeper that is part of the head. Much more time consuming in the beginning but once you have the mold, you can kick them out pretty fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
