Title: Wire Worm Q
Post by: Capt J on Jan 23, 2011, 10:08 AM

When your making those wire worms do you use any glue or sealer on the ends of the wire to secure it? 

They look so cool I'm going to try my hand at em.

No glue needed, just wrap on the wire it won't unravel.   ;)2

Pick Copper for colour and Medium for the size.

Thanks. Hook size? Style? Yarn or no yarn?

Anyone ever tried to use plain jig hooks, no lead?  Would a horizontal or vertical presentation work best?  I plan on getting out on greenbay this winter and have never tried it before.  Looks interesting and fun.
