Beetle spin frames

[Fatman]

Just to show how many you can turn out in a short time here's some Beetle spin frames. In about three hours, most bent one night and then finished the next day I made up about 100 of them.

This photo shows the first night when I had most of them bent and a few finished ones

What kind of wire twister do you use Fatman? I need to buy me one.I've got every component to make some inlines except for the machine itself.

Nice Fatman. Bending wires is time consuming. I do them in stages also.

I basically use the Netcraft wire bender for my inline spinners. For my Beetle Spins I use a hand former and round nose pliers to finish them.

For the Beetle spins I use this hand former

I finish the clip with round nose pliers.

Thanks fatman,I just ordered a Twist Tech and had it shipped to my new address in Pa.I remember the Juniata River as a kid and all the smallmouths and muskies that I caught with Mepps #2 Aglia's through the years as a kid without a boat.Let's see if a boat helps any with the Snyder Aglias,lol.

We're all gonna expect an equipment review after you play with it.

Oh,don't worry about that,lol.You will get the most honest and informative review that you can get.I might even answer questions for a small fee,Ha.Maybe a good spinner would suffice.I ordered a good pair of round nose pliers with that deal.Thanks for the info that you gave.I'm gonna be a river fisherman again after 31 years of Lake only.
