I can't find the "wire" or forms or whatever they're called that I want so I am thinking of making them. What kind of wire do I need? Is it stainless? Where can you get it, just about anywhere?

Ya know, War Eagle is located in my hometown. I might see if they would sell me a few sticks of wire and some skirts.

What I want is a wire that has a bend way back about halfway back down the wire towards the bullet shaped head. Instead of the typical bend, the wire is bent where it normally is and doubles back down towards the bait halfway, then turns out like it normally does.

I want a single willow blade close to the hook and bait and the reason for the bend is to create more shaking action while slow rolling the bait. I also want to put a trailer style hook on below the bullet weight/head instead of having a fixed hook. I could bend the wire on the other side of the head to close off the hook.

I've seen some custom baits like this or at least similar to this and I want to make my own.

Got any ideas?

Here's what I'm looking for. (Photoshop is a handy tool!)

Try tackleunderground.  Some of those guy might be able to help you out.

You might buy some Spinnerbait R wire forms and bend them to suit yourself if you have a mold.  If not then you can buy spinnerbaits with R wires and make them like you want.  The pic looks like a tandem that has been converted.

You can bend your own with a pair of roundnose pliers.

There ya go...

I don't think you'll find it at any of the normal sites, but it would be easy to make.  Just buy a roll of wire and start in at it.  The only thing about that particular design is you might have trouble with the blade hitting the skirt and the hook and therefore not spinning correctly.  It may be fine though.  I've bent alot of wire and I'm just trying to save you some time.  I'm sure you can get it to work though with a little tweaking.

Me and my dad were just talking about this today. Its called spring metal.

I do not think that bait will run correctly? If I can find my spinnerbait hooks I will make one just to see if it works?
