Outlaw4 Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 I am looking for some heavy duty stainless wire for a though wire project. Minimum .062 but could use a bit heavier. Needs to be hard. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastman03 Posted October 25, 2023 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 (edited) Stainless Steel Tig Welding wire. Lots of size options. Comes in straight pieces (no unrolling and trying to straighten before hand), and it is quite stiff. Cheap and available. 308L Stainless Steel TIG Rod – Canada Welding Supply Inc. I used some 3/32 (or .09) for a thru wire flap bait musky lure that I made. The wire was able to hold the hooks out, and the blade in the back. The lure was a mild failure lol, but the wire worked well. Edited October 25, 2023 by eastman03 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
