Jig Man 224 Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Anyone got a contact on the wire used by VMC? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ute 19 Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Proberos Fishing. He is in China but they are reliable and the shipping is pretty fast. They also have an Ebay store. I bought 100 of the wires from them, the wires are about an inch longer than VMC, maybe not quiet as heavy, but they worked fine for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dink Master 83 Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 I just twist a swivel on to a .035 wire shaft 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Apdriver 556 Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 So how’s it fish, for those members that have tried it? When the A Rig first came along, I thought a bass would never bite that. Boy was I wrong! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
21xdc 353 Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 I don't see the need for the down swivel... Lots of hardware for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
azsouth 79 Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 I do not use a down swivel, so far no problems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rhahn427 50 Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 I’ve built and used the Tokyo rigs and they work. I bought the long stem swivels from China and I like them because it allows the lure to rotate 360 degrees with little resistance and a little better action without line twist. I actually make mine with ear ring stops to hold the weight where I want it for different purposes and so I can change weights as needed quickly without having to bend the wire ends. It also allows the weights to pull off if snagged. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
