Re: SAVAGE GEAR TAIL BAIT CORK SCREWS
Stainless steel welding rods & a couple of pairs of pliers, one pair ideally with round jaws which makes getting the round eyes round easier.
I mig weld with 0.9mm s/s wire & if I need thinner stuff I get rods from the local welding supplies shop who have got used to me buying the odd one or two.
Probably a few 'how tos' on YouTube.

Does it need to be stiff? cant you make it with a shallow screw, a swivel and two splitrings ?

Making the eye is not difficult.
This youtube shows it being done:
To make the spiral wind the wire round a piece of round steel - a cross head screwdriver will do - then cut to the number of coils you want & bend into the right plane.

Re: SAVAGE GEAR TAIL BAIT CORK SCREWS
I make spinner baits too.
Again not difficult.
Much the same way as in this youtube. Using a drilled bullet, no need to cast lead heads onto the wire. If you find you need to add extra weight I crimp large split shot onto the wire.
I mount shads onto the single hook rather than using the the rubber strands in the clip & either leave as they are or, as I tie flies, whip tinsel or crystal hair/lureflash strands to give extra flash.
Paint or powder coat if you feel like it, I do neither.

Re: SAVAGE GEAR TAIL BAIT CORK SCREWS
Back in the day, I made my own solid wire leaders, now we use titanium of course, but I still do make my own bait pins for stingers and other similar stuff, they're easy as all you're doing is making loops and wrapping the tag ends - I have a wire bending tool I got from the Musky Shop that forms neat loops really easily. But a pair of decent long round nose pliers will do the same job (Knipex 30 31 160).
I now do shallow screws as well, which are a little harder - so I made a jig to wrap the wire around the centre wire to form the corkscrew. I can knock out 20 shallow screws in very little time. Saves a few quid compared to buying them already formed and means I can make different sizes. Appreciate DIY not everyone's bag, but it's pretty easy to do. Get the stainless wire off eBay and a little practice... you're good.

Starting point for me is 1.2 minimum for anything pike related

Same method with thicker wire.
Use pliers to wind the wire round.
Get a neater job too.
