ninrugger Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 sorry guys if this isn't the correct forum for this, but i figured...what the hell. i'm trying to find some stainless wire to use for making spring bobbers. i picked up some single strand stainless leader material from cabellas and it works good, but it kinks to easily. so i'm trying to find some spring tempered stainless (302). and i'm looking for a diameter of 0.015 and smaller. i found one online metal dealer that has it, but of course, only sells to companies. does anybody know where i can find something like this?? matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROWINGADUBAY Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I use surf strand single strand leader material it works pretty good I also use skirt bands slid over the tip of my ice rod to hold them in place it makes for easy on and easy off you can also adjust the sensitivity a little makking the wire shorter or longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatman Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) You can find stainless steel wire used for making spinners at Janns-Netcraft, diameters go down to .011 and it comes in bright or brown , right now alot of the brown in the smaller sizes is out of stock http://www.jannsnetc...ire/311665.aspx If you only want the leader making material in small diameter Janns Netcraft again. Diameters down to .013. http://www.jannsnetcraft.com/afw-leader-wire/311721.aspx Hopefully one of these is what you're looking for Edited February 20, 2012 by Fatman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
