Tell me something

Steve do you use a nose grommet on your thin needles. If not I would think the wire will split the nose of the plug when you tighten up the tail loop. Sux all that work and junk.

U guy's know I ain't a second rate fumble finger's...everything is just so when building...tail wraps perhaps r far to tight forcing the nose loop to distort the nose gromet to an oval shape thus splitting the wood..no give on the tough wire....doesn't happen on the annealed wire...which is why I'll continue to use it even though it maybe unsettl ing to some.

BB +J..ya you can heat it up...I've had some 316? that was so tough it'd split your finger open trying to bend it around the plyer's,,,cherry red is to soft ...play with it some..count the seconds ....push the wire through the plug,,mark the wire where it come's out of the tail..heat an inch beyond the mark...twist and bend...bob's your uncle.


NIB..no worries about rocks...sand and boat fish only..no rocks in my hunting grounds...angler one has lots of soft wire...me too now...easy replacement.

i've gone thru that with the nose splitting.
It can be frustrating..
