lostfisher Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Where is a good place to buy wire, What is your prefered thickness, and is there a specific type of stainless wire that I need to get to use them geared towards jigging spoons and through wire construction? would I possibly just get some at home depo, or are they expensive?

BobP Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 You can buy straight stainless "wire forms" in various thicknesses and with/without pre-formed twisted line ties at staminainc.com. They also sell coiled stainless wire. I get .029-.032" dia. For thru-wire, I get .040" dia soft temper stainless steel "safety wire" from mcmasters.com. It's easy to bend by hand, easy to fit into thru-wire frames, and easy to twist into home made screw eyes for hook hangers in hardwoods. I don't make spoons but suspect the regular hard stainless might be better for that application. Any stainless wire will do, it's mostly a matter of what looks best and what diameter wire you can bend accurately and neatly. Some round nosed wire bending pliers from a craft shop will come in handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
