Is this wire the same as used for forming fish hooks?

I do not believe that it is suitable for making fish hooks. It's basically music wire with very high tensile strength but not sufficiently rigid to form a hook. It is also not rust resistant so, again, probably not for fish hooks. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure. I purchased it thinking it was similar to paperclip wire. It wasn't. It is extremely stiff. I pitched it 2 minutes after opening it. I didn't try to bend it. I assume it would be difficult to do so. Like an electricians steel fish tape, it may snap trying to put such a sharp bend in it as a fish hook would require. But hey, for a few bucks, it's probably worth trying. Hope this helps.Tim R.

I would say no, unless you are able to heat treat it to take out most of the spring.

one may possibly be able to use for that purpose, but it is more springy then most of the hooks I have seen of this diameter. it will also rust with water, so would need to be dipped after bending.

I am guessing that it is a trade secret. However, it is high carbon steel and can be tempered, like a fish hook. We use it in picture framing for holding 3-d objects in place in shadowbox framing. We use polyolefin heat shrink tubing over the exposed ends so as to not damage the object being framed.

I agree with the last response. This is very thick and difficult to use, yet very similar to fishing line which would be much less expensive.

Thank you for this info. I need it to be more flexible than chicken wire, yet I want it to look just like it is real chicken wire. Do you know of any such material?

Hi. It would take some pretty precise calipers to measure the thickness of this wire. It's about as thick as dental floss. And it works pretty well. Just do the knot like they tell you in the package and you'll be fine. Hope this helps.

Yes absolutely. It's a heavy gauge steel wire dipped in a rubber coating. That's actually what I'm using it for.

I used 18 and 16 wire size. I didn't like the screws that are used to hold the wire. Not well made. I use this for my Kayak battery to run my fish finder.

Dear Seekemeister, I was told by the person who uses this cord, the hooks on this cord are larger in diameter than the regular hooks.

Yes you can just make sure you have the same size and type of wire. Best thing is to save the piece of wire and show/ask a sale person from your local electronic or hardware store if they have the same size and type of wire.

absolutely, get strong wire cutters, this is not flimsy wire mesh, its great wire. marisa

Yes, the hook is in a roll and the loop is on a separate roll. Each roll has the opposite side with glue.

Hello Scott,I bought these crimpers earlier this summer. I have used them for both mono and wire leaders and making 'double hook rigs' and have not had the slightest problem. They're great. Jim

Yeah, it will work for treble hooks, but it's kind of small, so if you want it to keep your fingers away from toothy fish, it may not be the best option.

Yes it does. They are very hard steel for cutting hard wire, like fishing hooks.

No, it is the exact same hook holder! I noticed that there are lower prices attached to it now on Amazon.

Yes....You can use this line, just keep it from freezing because I don't know how this line would react on freezing water besides than comparing it from a natural mono filament line. I do know that this would handle a 50 LB. Northern Pike in your hook for sure.

I don't know. I bought the loom for my daughter for Christmas and purchased these and more loops and "S" hooks to send to her for Valentines. She was thrilled with them.

I use it in my fishing rod and it worked. I think it will stick anywhere. Give it a try. Don't use it all just cut a piece that will be enough to do the job.
