  1. Looking at making some jointed baits and was wondering if anyone knew if figure 8 links would hold up to the abuse. I would be connecting them to pins in each segment of the bait.
  2. BobP...My thought process was to try to mark the bend points on the wire before bending them. Gonna order some .035 wire and toy with the jig. Tried hand bending with bigger wire (for musky) and it wasn't fun. Thanks for the input.
  3. Is anyone using a wire bender for their crank/jerkbaits? I am working on some cranks with screw eyes and others with one piece wire construction. I've seen videos on making a jig/template with pins and hand bending to get the shape you want, but didn't know if a wire bender would be able to make the bends. the shape would look something like a T with eyelets on all three ends. Trying to streamline the process and make the bends on a consistent basis. Rough photo attached. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
