Re: hitchikers

I believe, if you want stainless steel you will have to make them yourself. I buy the copper ones, and they seem to do fine. There is a post in the Wire Bait Forum on how to make them yourself.

Re: hitchikers

thanks guys, copper is fine but big smallmouth tend to bend them and when you bend them back they break. i am not sure if the heat changes the copper or what but i hate to go to the trouble to make a bunch and they not be very strong. again thanks, marty

Re: hitchikers

heat will indeed change the temper of the copper.....copper is fairly soft to begin with.


The screws I have are stainless.

drop me an email, I may be able to sell you a smaller qty if interested

Regards

JM
