Wire bending
« on: January 09, 2010, 12:46:38 PM »
Newbie here. Just getting ramped up for lure building. I'm using the SS wire and having a hard time getting a clean professional look at the tail. Any suggestions would help.

go easy on me guys, I'm old and grumpy. I see alot of you are just waiting to pounce on anything given the opportunity. So type slow, I don't read too fast.
