To make your own bait clips is really easy. You need - stainless steel wire and
the outer casing of some electrical cable (just bigger in diameter than the
wire).
Cut a piece of wire about 3cm long and a shorter piece of cable casing 2cm
long. (Fig A) Bend the wire as shown in Fig B. To your trace add a crimp, a bead
and the cable casing. Slide the wire into the cable casing and bend over the
straight end to form a tag (this prevents the bait clip being pulled out) Slide
the bait clip up or down so that it is in the correct position for your hook to
clip onto. Nip the crimp carefully.
