weird, walk into any tackle store in western canada and these things are everywhere. most are small hooks wrapped in color coated copper wire, (telephone wires) ie red, orange, white, etc or wrapped in just bare copper wire as well. as far as i know they are usally fished bare (no bait).

 The picture is near you in your mind...In your minds eye picture a single strand of fine wire either bare or with the colored insulating jacket on it
 Now picture starting at the eye end of the hook and wrapping the wire tightly around the shank from the eye to just past the bend where it is cut off. The wraps are kept tight up against each other to look like the segments of a worm.
 I make them all of the time from multiconductor telephone cable which I get from a couple of cable splicers that work for the phone company.
 They are easy to make and I have caught a lot of nice panfish with them.

 P.S. if you look in the lure section found at the bottom of the forum home page you can probably find pics of them as this topic has been on here before.
