Spinnerbait Wire Size, Type, And Stiffness

Recommended Posts

I received some spinnerbait heads that were suppose to be made with 0.035" Super Stainless Wire. I received the heads and was happy with the paint and finish but the wire appeared to be weaker than I was expecting. The wire was also a darker color compared to another spinnerbait that was made with 0.035 stainless.

At first, I thought the wire was not the correct diameter, and did some adhoc comparisons to a wire type feeler gauge. Today, I confirmed with a set of calipers that it is indeed 0.035 diameter. Also my known bait measured the same.

Next, I suspected that it is not stainless because of the darker color. I had "cleaned" a section to more shiny, and as of today seems like it turned dull already. I did a magnet test and the wire is readily attracted to it. My known stainless, as expected, had only a slight attraction.

Is there any other simple tests to prove or disprove what I have?
