Re: boggs tacklemaker

That 3.5 inch limit in the handle is the only limiting aspect of the tacklemaker that is a negative. I have slide extra long wire into the drilled out (hollow) part of the handle. Most of the time, that is enough. Both rubber and brass skirt collars slide inside the handle. There have been a couple of spinners that have proven to be to long if you attempt to make them out of a single wire shaft, then I use two shafts and put a split ring between. The only down side to this is an occasional hang up when the hook catches the other part of the lure.

The other thing I've been thinking of was sawing my standard size base in half and buying the extended head - I just don't know if the cut out is also extended? I haven't been able to find a picture of it either.
