Will Wetline Posted April 5, 2023 Posted April 5, 2023 With the exception of tying the skirt, this is an assembly project rather than a scratch built bait. A wide selection of pre-made skirts are available from LPO if you don't care to thread wrap, wire tie or use a rubber collar. The well-designed and painted head, Bio-Silk silicone skirt material, the SwimTail trailer and the hex willow blades all come from LurePartsOnline.com. The German round nose pliers, split ring pliers, beads, clevis and swivel are from barlowstackle.com. Both of these component suppliers have deep inventories which have been satisfying my bait making needs for years. 5 Quote
Bdnoble84 Posted April 5, 2023 Posted April 5, 2023 How do you like the German Round bends? I have cheaper jewelers pliers and while they get the job done, theg have alot of flex which makes fine bends difficult. Quote
Will Wetline Posted April 5, 2023 Author Posted April 5, 2023 Invest in the German made. They don't flex. Quote
Super User Munkin Posted April 6, 2023 Super User Posted April 6, 2023 Looks great and that can't be the first one you have made German round nose nesting pliers are the best. I have 3 pairs since I keep losing them. Allen 1 Quote
