strictly esox Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 I did a search on this topic and found out about Stamina and Hagens. So far Hagens had the best price at $140.00 per 1000 in the .092 wire x 1 1/8 stem in stainless. I'm currently paying $180.00 per 1000 from a local tackle supply store. Does anyone have a contact I could check out that might be even cheaper? Thanks, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strictly esox Posted February 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 I also found jannsnetcraft and barlows. Barlows had a great price but eyes are nickle plated brass and .072 wire. I'm thinking these are to lite for musky. I want to cut cost not corners. Does anyone have an opinion on these that could change my mind?

Does anyone have a contact I could check out that might be even cheaper?Thanks, John Here's a way to make HEAVY DUTY hangers and eyes. 308 SS Tig wire works really well. Here's how I make hangers and ties from SS welding rods . I find the Rods stiffer than the SS wire that comes on rolls and is available at any welding supply store. 1. I put a mark on my round nose pliers for consistency and bend a loop, there. Then I "overbend the wire to make a more circular loop. 2. Cut the wire evenly. 3. Place the ends of the wire in a vise grip. 4.Clamp the loop with a flat pliers. 5. Twist, counter clockwise. Now you're done! 6. Here are a couple, one .045" and the other .062 Just drill a hole large enough to accept the twisted wire, fill it with 5 min epoxy, wipe the overflow with alcohol and you'll have a bullet proof tie or eye.
