Slightly OT BUT METAL CONTENT
I want to make some leaders of a special nature for fishing. What I want to
make are pieces of wire, starting about 2" long, then the ends spiraled to make two eyes with a straight piece in the middle. I would put a sinker on the straight part before making the second eye. What type of high strength wire would I use? I could probably get some old guitar wires from a music shop and use the ones that don't have the secondary spiral winding. Or is there just a simple type of commonly available wire? Picture hanging wire is cheap, and it is kinda springy. Mainly, I want it not to bend too much or be soft and break from flexing. Steve |
