I mean yes they will fit I'm just don't know about that wire in the long term. It be nice if you used some .51ish wire. Don't get my wrong I love the .45 for smaller blades. |

Location: ontario | cool okay , i ended up ordering the .46 and a .50. What would be the negative of using the .46 for mag 10s? |

.051 will work, BUT, I think most use .062 I usually use .055, .059, OR .062 .046 , maybe sending a boy to do a Mans Job;) )JD

Location: Pewaukee, WI | I'd recommend a .051 or .062 looped shaft. Going any lighter will be a pain because you will be constantly trying to straighten a bent shaft (or trying too). It just doesn't have the tensile strength of heavier wire. .O62 has the advantage of not bending easily, but it also deadens the sound or vibration that the blades give off plus if you do happen to bend it, it's not easily bent back into shape. That's why I favor .051 wire. It's pretty durable and yet if it is bent it can easily be bent back into shape. Another plus is that gauge of wire is
flexible enough to give off a lot of vibration. I don't think you'll be disappointed if you try it.

My experience with making DBL 10's:
.051 gets beat up from daily casting and caught fish. Usually fixable and strong enough to stand up to the abuse.
045 will get bent up and twisted a whole lot more. The excessive bending leads to bad bucktail performance. Blades not spinning and such. It's a lot harder to fix and keep the lure functional. I'd be prepared to replace the wire shaft quite often. It's fine for smaller single treble bucktals with smaller blades.

Location: Chisholm, MN | I actually like the lighter wire. You get more vibration using it and I haven't had an issue with it kinking or bending bad enough to replace it. |

| .62 is the way to go .anything smaller is not good,it bent just by the look of a musky |

| I would definitely use size 8 clevis not 6. Will spin way better. Also use at least 51 or your shaft will flex, we all know that is no good. |

just a misconception,blades create vibration,wires don't |
