Fishing goonie Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Hi guys, first-time bait builder here. Just want to thank you all learn so much from reading your experiences. I have a rat in the works and I've been using finishing nails for the rod in the joint. I thought it was a genius idea and cheap. Today I looked at the joint and it was Rusty. Anyone have suggestions on what I can use, I saw galvanized finishing nails but it's just a coating that comes off when you cut the head off. Thanks gabe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
