The perfect tool for bending stainless steel Leader Wire for making your own Custom Shanks for articulated flies. We have in stock the Looper in 2 sizes, 2.25mm and 3.0mm, the size represents the diameter of the loop or hole the wire is bent into. by following my video and bypassing the small hole in the tool you can make perfect round loops in wires with a long "leg" which will make the wire stronger and still maintain a round loop for allowing your flies to swim at their best.
2.25mm makes loops with an O.D. of 3/64" - best for trout and smaller Bass flies
3.0mm makes loops with an I.D. of 1/8" - best for larger Musky and Pike flies
This tool is designed for jewelry wire which tends to be much softer than fishing wire, do not follow the written directions on the package, you will break the tool. Look at the video to see the proper use for bending fishing wire. there is no need to cut the tool, it works best when you use it as described in the video.
