miket Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Having trouble with supply and back orders on stainless steel wire..slow shipping when I do find it. Any reliable sources for .041 pre-stretched stainless in 1/4 or 1 pound coils? Thanks...Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBlaze Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 About two weeks ago, I tried getting .035 from three different suppliers. All of them were out of it. I think it may have something to do with the Alabama Rig craze. It seems that just about everyone is attempting to make it. I am sure the supply will catch up with demand soon.

John I have 1 coil of .035 left and was told by a friend that the alabama rig is now being made by so many diy and normal lure companies that it may disappear for a few months until suppliers will get caught up. The same thing happened to fly tyers when women began using hackle for hair extensions. Barlows has about the best quality prebent wire forms if you need to make spinnerbaits and I have them for times I run short, they use the same quality of wire, the only difference is they have it bent already so it costs me more but really come in handy when I run out of wire.

LimpNoodle Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Just checked McMaster-Carr and they have .041 wire in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
