Bending Darter Loops

[numbskull]

I suck bending wire. Took me some time to figure this out. Thought it might help someone else.

First bend a U shape around a drill bit in a vise. Pic 1

Next, grab the wire with your round nose pliers and make an outside bend of about 45 degrees in the standing wire. Pic 2

Next re-grasp the loop with your pliers and bend the tag end back parallel with the standing end. Pic 3
