EXTRACTED KNOWLEDGE / HOW-TO
- ✅ Armatures/internal harnesses – It can work if you need a simple internal support.
- ✅ Spinnerbait or buzzbait frames – 20 gauge is a bit thin but usable for small finesse spinnerbaits.
- ✅ Hook keepers – It works well.
- ⚠️ Line-through lures – It may be too flexible for larger fish like the big blue cats you're targeting.
- ❌ Through-wire swimbaits or glide baits – I would not use 20 gauge. It will bend too easily.
- 20 gauge – Small panfish, bass finesse lures, internal retainers.
- 18 gauge – Better all-around for medium bass lures.
- 16 gauge stainless steel – Best for larger lures or anything that could hook into big fish. Much stronger and won't rust.
