Title: On Lure Kit Thru-wiring
Post by: Out Fishing on August 29, 2013, 10:55:06 PM: I was wondering about the thru-wires in the lure kits. Most of the kits (namely the 2.5 0z surfster) have thru-wire bent at a 90 degree angle. Should this be bent straight while inserting the wire, or am I missing something.

What we do is make the bend so the bent area is inside the lure and there is at least enough straight in the wire to get you through the lure otherwise it would be really hard to insert the wire.
