Looking for swimbait parts

[carwij04]

I recently just finished my first glide bait and the screw eyes I used to connect the joint seemed to be too big. Where do you guys get your screw eyes from? Do you use the same screw eyes on the line tie and the place where you connect the hooks?

Lurepartsonline and barlowstackle are a couple good online options. 

And it just depends on the bait/baitmaker. I like to use swivel hook hangers and the smallest line tie screw I can get away with. But that's just me.

I make my hook hangers and line ties out of ss304 wire from harbor freight

+1, been doing this for years and it works very well. Ive discovered a new product that I'm pretty sure people out there use too but have not given out the secret. 

Lurepartsonline is where I go. Customer service is top notch also.

I do the same but I make a lot of musky lures too so I prefer the .051 ss lock wire to Harbor Freight's .041
