Will Wetline Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bdnoble84 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Wetline Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 Invest in the German made. They don't flex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Munkin Posted April 6 Super User Share Posted April 6 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
