Thanks Ron, Chef and Mark(photos). I got the idea when i was going through the Valium phase lol, i had seen a single wrap in the past, but realized there are some issues that can arise with a single wire wrap, they can get hung up, twisted stuck, so i had been given a lot of cut off's and decided to try a experiment.

I started with a single wrap noticing i had to end the wrap part way around, i tested this in my tail wrap and noticed it was floppy, didnt follow the plug and got hung up.

I then decided to take the second wrap the rest of the way around and end it near the tag end. When i tested this i noticed the tail stayed tight inside the tail wrap loop and moved so much smoother, the action as described by chef is dead on, he had posted a video of a plug i built him, and it had one of thos "snap ring" style wraps, and when i was swimming the conrad hybrid, it was jaw dropping action.

I also made a 3 wrap for bigger lures with bigger tail loops, i bring the tag back and re center the tag, works just as effective as the double.

I believe Cowtamer fell in love with these as well during my free give away.

I showed it to a few buiders at the show and people didnt seem to be interested. If there is a intrest i would be more the happy to make and post a video on how i currently make them now, i asked a machinist on here to help make a tool that i have designed for consistency, but unfortunitly he was to busy.

However if there is enough intrest i would be more then happy to post a video.
