  1. I think the tuning problem has two aspects. How easy is it to tune a bait and does the bait stay tuned afterwards. If you use large diameter hard temper wire the bait will be hard to tune. And the force required can also crack a lip or especially the finish on the nose of a bait, greatly reducing its life expectancy. There’s a good reason why classic baits were made with soft brass wire. It tuned more readily and didn’t destroy baits. For the builder there are additional advantages in soft temper stainless wire. It’s much easier to form accurately than hard temper wire and it won’t corrode like brass, plus it’s flexibility is a little less than brass so holds a tune better. I use .041 soft stainless on bass baits and they keep their tune very well. And it’s a joy to work with compared to hard temper wire. I’ll never go back and urge you to at least try both tempers to judge for yourself.
