    Default Weedless Wire


    Anyone know of a good wire for making wireless jig?
    Anything at wmart or radio shack that might work?

    I improvised using bristles from a scrub brush and .23" spinner wire.
    Its time consuming but works.

    Figured out a way to do it without the wire. Just takes practice.
    Looks better and works better too. The one on the bottom is wireless

    Look in the bead making section at Wmart. They have some wire there.

    Or you can cut some from a steel leader from the fishing section.

    It's a pin vise. Got my from Snap-on but Sears has them as well. They come with a few indexing drill bits too.

    I'm going to try the same as the pin vise but with a jig to secure the head and use the drill press. Super glue to hold it do you think?
