I just picked up some .078" wire and was wondering what is the easiest wasy to bend this? I don't think I'll be able to twist/loop it but I was thinking of a coil bend, like in spinner bait wire. Would I bend it around a nail? I starting with my needle nose vise grip, but I think that will break before I ever get the bend I want. Thanks.

I bent .064 with my boggs but it almost wants to break the pin off. They make more heavy duty wire benders, maybe they have the right sized pin for that bend. Try www.hagensfish.com, they have some industrail benders.

I loop and twist Stainless bike spokes with a looping pliers and a set of vice grips. It's tough, but the best way for me.
