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.

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.

Hi Sharon, with out knowing the project your planning to use the wire on I can not answer your question. I can say from my experience that this Stainless steel wire worked great when I was making odd shape filters. It held its shape after many handlings. ..........Ron

yes, the ends are the same. I use it as an extension in hooking my motorhome to a faucet that is only 4 feet away.

The hooks on mine are plastic. It isn't a huge hook, so in the cases of a thick shepherds hook I've made a small loop out of wire and slipped that over the shepherds hook and then hooked the feeder on the wire loop. So far (knock on wood), I haven't had any problem with the hook. The hooks seem plenty strong and haven't gotten brittle in intense sunlight.

Yes it will. I think that this is one of the greatest inventions to remove hooks from the fish that I have ever seen. I own 2, one for me and one for the man in the back. I really stress taking care of the fish I catch and these are the best. I always catch and release. Get you one you won't be disappointed.

I'm pretty sure u can put metal hooks on the ends. I bought the cord to use on an exercise machine. I will make loops on the ends with hog rings for my use

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.

Solid wire is made of a single strand of wire. It isn't too flexible and is great for working with breadboards. Stranded wires are as the name implies, composed of multiple wires. This allows for better conductivity and more flexibility.

They are stamped with the size toward the ball end. One I am looking at is Easy Tunisian Size M-13(9.0 mm) The hook size is compatible to my Boye size N 9.00 mm. Aluminum hook I have. I used this to create a 2 square blanket using a Cathrine wheel stitch. The Boye was too short to hold the loops with the yarn I was using. These hooks made it a breeze to finish it. They were very well finished. No catching of the yarn materials.

Yes. I'm just starting out with crocheting too and I brought these as beginner hooks. They are great.

Yes, I think this is a great gauge of wire for a cage. Not too heavy so it is very workable, and yet heavy enough to stand up to some "contact" by the inhabitants of your cage.

I generally use 3 sizes of hooks for soft plastics - 1/0, 3/0, and 5/0. I use 1/0 for 4-inch worms, Senkos, etc., 3/0 for your average 7-inch plastic worm(but NOT 5-inch Senkos), and 5/0 for 5-inch Senkos, not because of the length, but due to the girth of these 'do-nothing' worms(AWESOME fish-catchers! I can't even count how many fish I haver caught on Senkos). I also use the 5/0 hooks for flipping baits, like magnum tubes, Brush Hogs, etc.

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.

Sure;If you use 80 lbs.braided line can handle anything you hook,I always use 80lbs.braided line in all my reels.No problem at all.

I'm not sure about that. It turned out to be too large and heavy (when filled) to go on the hook on my fence. I wanted to put a net underneath it to catch the debris, but couldn't find a hook long enough to allow the feeder and net to hang out from the fence, so I ended up giving it away. I would only recommend it for haning from a tree branch or something. It's very heavy.

sure. It is a pliers in the front with a split ring grasping jaws makes it easy to put the big snagging trebles on the lures we use. Just kidding. We only use single hooks without a barb. Real sports.
