Munkin Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 I know others were looking for them in the past but I did not find anything using the search? Battlefield or Mustang wire most likely make them but I just wanted to see if anyone found them before I started making calls. Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Allen, Which wire keepers are you looking for? I believe the two sources you mentioned make all the wire products for the fishing industry, however they won't break them out by the 1000 count. If you find a source PM me. Also I believe Mustang Wire might be out of business. I tried calling their number and it is disconnected, unless they have a different number now or may have moved. Anyway let me know what you find.

Saugerman Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 I'd also be interested in finding the wire bait keepers, Please let me know also. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdley123 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 I'm also in the market for some of these... If anyone knows of their whereabouts, please give them up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkin Posted October 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Judging by the responses it looks like the manufacturer is still unknown? I will call Mustang and Battlefield this week to see about purchasing them. Since there will be a minimum order who else would like these?

Munkin Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Mcmaster-Carr.com look under material, wire, stainless. I got 100 12" pcs. of .035 for 9.00 and change! I have some .035 wire myself but for production who wants to hand bend 100's of these? Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EironBreaker Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 If you are looking at the simple wire hook to make a trailer keeper out of, you can get 1000 from Battlefield Wire for 20 dollars instead of paying out the nose for 100. Heck, I waste $20 on a good meal. I get the 6" ones in the smallest diameter from BW and they work great. I've modified my Do-It molds to take the wire below the hook shaft and lay it in there with the hook pointed down. Take a small triangle file and open up the bottom side of the hook shaft slot just a bit until the mold closes with the hook and wire in it. Pretty simple deal. You have to clip off the wire to fit the mold and bend the end that goes inside the lead so it doesn't pull out. I don't know if it would but with the bend it definately doesn't with the end bent. Best trailer keeper I've ever used, way better than the molded lead keepers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
