I covered that before. what you described is how we do it. you create an open loop, slide the hook in, then you pinch it between the "anvil" section of the pliers to finish the wraps.
The other option is to take a dremmel or similar tool and create a slot in the conical tip for the hook to go into - which gives you the clearance to create a round wire loop.
After another unsuccessful troll for coho on Friday morning, (we all can't be as skilled as Fishydog:clapI decided to hit BC Angling and stock up on supplies for the Fall Chinook season.
Since I'm a new "twister" (not to be confused w/ tweaker, but maybe just as addicting), I wanted to pick up the C-Head for the larger gauge wire. I inquire from the new guy, and he explains they just tried to place an order last week and the company is not filling any and is possibly closing their business. He mentioned there was a possiblitly that another co. might purchase their inventory, but was unsure of the details.
I know I can go back to using my pliers, but was hoping to pick up the extra heads. So all you twisters be on the lookout for spare parts if you use the Boggs unit and if anyone has an extra, I'm in the market.
Cheers,

I went through all my old spin n glows, cut the old wire off and rebuilt them with new hooks and new wire. Piece of cake!Nice fish! Do you twist up Spin N Glo lures?
