I bought a clip n go rig from R&H that is a little different than the Shumway model. I would like to make my own for personal use but the bending looks to be out of my league. Any guys out there bending their own wire for spinnerbaits and such that would be willing to help? We can out a price or trade.

PM me if you know someone.

i dont know about master but if you get a pair of binding pliers they make smooth and even bends without gouging or scoring the wire. if you have a HOBBY LOBBY near you the sell them in the jewelry making isle. ive made a few baits and the pliers are about $15. they are also called jewelers pliers.

round nose pliers is the thing you are looking for,get a pair of knipex,the one that are made for jewelery are easy to broke when you play with 0.62 wire.......

The key to these things is finding the right the wire - thickness and temper - the bending is relatively easy with a round nose pliers.
