I was watching a show yesterday that dealt with Texas and they had a special
section about the Bomber Lure Company.
They were showing the product being hand painted and split rings being put
on the lures.
What I thought was neat was, they had a square thing with a tiny thin square
thing that they would slide the split ring opening onto (That would open the
ring) Then they just hooked the lure eye onto the opening and spun the ring
in a circle.
I know...the above is confusing....hehehe.
Ok....picture this;
A square block of wood with a small short flattened metal piece sticking
straight up. (Flattened nail perhaps?)
Holding the pliers (with the split ring in them), open the edge of the ring
by pushing it down on the metal piece.
Slide the lure eye into the opening.
Then just spin the ring in a circle with the pliers.
If that's confusing then I will draw a picture.
These folks were putting split rings on lures in seconds!
