No need for wire, but
#1
[url "http://javascript:%20addTag('cool')/"][cool][/url][font "Californian FB"][#005028][size 3]While sending some time with my family on vacation my grand niece was busy stringing beads etc making necklaces. A while back folks use to use waxed string then later mono. Now they use a very fine and smooth wire that they purchase from a novelity store. While not coated this stuff is silky smooth. Perhaps someone on our site may have use for this material. Here is what this wire looks like on the spool.

actualy I do use wire,

I make home made spinner simmilar to mepps spinners tho not quite as good but will work in a pinch if I loose my mepps to giant pike logs.

the gage I cant remember but any one with a spinner can measure their own spiner wires with a pair of calipers

similar to tying a fly I tie a few fether strands to a treble hook then wire than some beeds ant then blade and clevis then another beed then tie off at the top.

its not hard realy. tho I wouldnt want to make a coreer of it.

I like stainless steel wire when I can find it.

I also use a braded coated stainless steel wire made by a company here in michigan for tying coustom steel leaders. one spool of a hundred yards cost about 20 fish backs.

I still use store baught wire leaders for pike. except when ice fishing when I use my thumb...[url "javascript: addTag('pirate')"][pirate][/url][url "javascript: addTag('sly')"][sly][/url][url "javascript: addTag('laugh')"][laugh][/url]
