No sleeves needed. Use the Haywire Twist

Just a couple of observations that are not always obvious to beginners.
1. Both sides of the wire should bend. It's not as secure if you bend one side around the other leaving one side straight, matter of fact it's not a true "haywire twist" unless you bend both sides of the wire.
2. The tightness (length) of the twists is determined by the distance from the pinch point of your fingers to the point where the two wires cross. Shorter twists stress the wire more, although usually not enough to matter a lot unless the wire gets really stressed fighting a fish.
3. If you don't make the barrel rolls and break the wire to finish the twist it leaves a really nasty sharp end. If you have trouble making the crank to break it off at the end (lots of people do) then just bend it back and forth until it breaks.Pier#r likes this.People are shocked to see sharks in the water around here.
If you see natural water taste it. If it's salty it has sharks in it. If it's fresh it has alligators in it. If it's brackish it has both.

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
