Hook Hanger ?

[thefishingfreak]

that one i sent you has a hook hanger.

i like them because you don't need a ton of different size swivels.

they'll never break or sieze up like a swivel can sometimes do.
good reason to save those two inch scraps of wire.

Guess you have to hit me over the head sometimes to get these things. I only thought they were used when you filled the hole with epoxy. I just looked at it and now it is perfectly clear how its done. Now if I only had all those little pieces of wire.

If you decide to use hangers I would definately recommend filling the hole with epoxy to firm things up a bit. Good luck and dont forget to post some pics.

You could use Flukin's method without the epoxy. The one I mentioned you would need to fill the hole with epoxy afterwards. That is often done on plugs that are fully sealed up rather than having an open swivel hole and holes where the line tie and rear hook hanger come out of the plug.

those are scraps from thru wire... two inches is enough. just need some good round nose plyers or wrap arround a nail....
you can fill the holes with epoxy if you want ?
good thing is they come in any size you need

I have been making my own hangers for over three years.I make them the same as shown in the picture,two wraps to each side of the loop.I think you can not get a better or stronger hanger.On the handcarves I fill in and seal but all the other plugs the hanger comes thru a grommet exposed and has been a very good system.I use 1/32 SS wire and have not had a failure that I know of.I use a 6D finish nail for the hole diameter in the hanger.
good luck
