Random quote: I will actually get up before breakfast. Slamr will see. I will be fishing earlier than he has ever seen. Which, I might add, is not all that early.

Have always wondered what the manufacturers used for the heavy brass colored wire inside Creek Chub Pikie Minows and inside Leviathons, a similar wooden bait. Some have said that it was welding wire and if so what type or guage? Could someone let me know and perhaps educate or direct me to a link or posting which shows how these baits are/were constructed and how this heavy wire is formed? I would really appreciate it!

Thanks

The creek chubs were built in two halves not sure about the OWB Leviathons ( heading out on the lake now will look when I get back) Hoser ( aka Shawn Mahar ) drills up through the center and threads wire through center hook hanger.
