| I watched a video on how to modify a rubber lure I use. It recommended to use some multi-strand leader wire or single strand. I see on Thornes some AFW 49 strand 90# wire and some AFW single strand stainless steel wire in several different wire thicknesses. Are these the correct types I would use? The mod is just moving the two treble hooks from hanging below the lure to placement on top, with the wire being used to attach the 2nd back hook on top of the rubber bait, embedding one the treble hooks toward the back of the bait and connecting that hook by this wire to the front line tie of the bait.
I am not sure what type of tool I would use to wrap this wire into the hook eye and the lure eye? Would the single strand work with a regular needle nose, what would the multi-strand need, or some specialty tool needed? What weight of single strand should I use if that is the way I go? The length of the wire on the lure connecting these two things would be only about 3" when done.
As you can see, I have never done this type of thing before. | |
