Re: Rookie question
A good number of lure makers use a closed eye screw and an open eye screw, place the closed eye screw into the open eye screw and close the open screw with a needlenose plyers. The idea of useing 2 eye screws and a split ring would make the joint to long in my opinion.

Re: Rookie question
You can buy open screw eyes (Stamina, Barlows, Janns Netcraft) and crimp 2 together to form a hinge. Alternatively, you can hand wind 2 screw eyes from stainless leader wire so they are one inside the other. You can also connect screw eyes with a split ring if you can get the ring onto the eyes in the confined space between body segments. It depends on how much space you want between the segments.

Re: Rookie question
Nils master uses 2 wire loops (ie eye screws) connected by a split ring on their custom painted production lures.

Re: Rookie question
BobP has a great method of hinges. Like he said hand twist two stainless wires into eyelets, one inside the other, and then drill holes and epoxie them in. Makes a very solid hinge and method is simple. I was having trouble with this same thing and contacted Bob and he e-mailed me pics. that cleared it right up.

Pike, if you will send me your e-mail address I can forward the msg I got from Bob, and maybe save both you and Bob some time.
