Scottyice Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 I bought some wire to build my first spinnerbaits, but I think I screwed up and got the wrong type. I bought Bend-and-Stay 302/304 Stainless Steel Wire .32 and .38 diameter. Both types of wire are wound up and stored in a small spool and they seem to flexible to use for a Spinnerbait. What type of wire should I use? Thanks for the help guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smalljaw Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 You don't want that type of wire, I buy coils of torsion straightened .032" diameter stainless for 1/4oz and .035" for all the others. .32 and .38 are way too big to fit in any mold. What you want to get is AFW-Hi Seas (American Fishing Wire) stainless steel coils in range from .032" to .041" diameters, that range is what is normally used for spinnerbaits from 1/4oz to 3/4oz and it can be purchased direct or you can go to LPO, Barlows, or Janns Netcraft and get it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
