Figure 8 Links For Jointed Lures....will They Work?

Recommended Posts

The figure 8 link itself is not inherently strong, it's the body socket & pin that holds it's strength in an assembled crank.

 

That would be very important in your scenario because in my opinion, the leverage needed to straighten or reverse the bend in a figure 8 link could be possible in a segmented or "hinged" bait.

 

It would be worth testing because the application would make for an efficient (-ly fabricated) jointed bait.

 

link sizes & strength to failure rate would depend on your bait material & targeted species.

 

Sorry for the vague reply but I could'a summed it up quicker with a resounding "maybe" :)

Good luck.
