Wire how to
« on: November 16, 2012, 10:58:38 PM »
Is a wire twisting tool needed for the tail end? I tried a regular needle nose pliers. I have .062 annealed wire and it is very tough to twist. Is a round nose pliers easier to work with? Is Salty's wire easier to work with?

You don't have Salty's wire? You don't know what your missing. There is no such thing as a "wire twisting tool" though. Round nose pliers work fine. See the video I have on youtube Tom.

Here is a pic of a lure I refinished. It is the first one with through wire. Thanks for your help.
