[Spike-A-Pike]

I have one and it gets a pretty regular work out. I think there are 4 different head and handle size configurations; A being the smallest and D being the largest. I own a C and D head and handle and normally swap between the two as the wire size changes. I have made a few batches of spinners using the larger D size with smaller .035 and .030 wire - the only real difference is the size of the line tie - if you can live with it then its not an issue.

There are two sizes of Tacklemakers; the larger having the base in two pieces and the original one piece design. If I was going to buy one for first time today, I would buy the two piece design. There is an in-line buzz bait design that is just 1 or 2 mm to long to form and I have toyed with the idea of cutting my short framed Boggs.

By all means, I highly recommend a Boggs Tacklemaker to make the task of making nice tight wire loops and get a professional result. Examples of what I made are in the gallery.
