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 have never used them for fishing line.... I primarily use mine foe cutting Kanthal resistor heating wire as large as 22g so I would think there would be no problem cutting nylon fishing line.

Yes it is. This is actually a bit bigger than the 0awg standard. Dont skimp out with cheep wires, stick with good brands such as knu. Many cheep brands claim to be 0awg but they are really 4 gauge or sometimes even higher with lots of insulation on the wire. Hope this helped

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.

The coated wire is very flexible and should form a good knot, but you may have to experiment on how well it holds.

Hooks are made of a composite material. They seem to be sturdy enough for their intended purpose.

They cut copper and tinned copper wire like a hot knife through butter. I'm sure they'd be just fine for something like fishing line.

Yes it most certainly will...I am a fisherman and have used this to determin how deep a fish has taken a hook!

Yes. The usable depth of the hook remover in a fish's mouth is 3-3/4", so it should be fine for most surf/pier fish. However, be sure to definitely rinse it in fresh water after using it in saltwater so parts of it don't rust.

I purchased this wire hoping for something bendable like a paper clip. It was extremely stiff, and would probably work well as a push rod. The stuff was pretty inexpensive. Might be worth the $ to find out. Hope that helps.

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.

My guess is "no." This 12-gauge wire is pretty stout compared to regular bailer wire, which is typically 14 or 16-gauge, but it is still pretty bendable, so I think it might not be the best for your application. If you did use this wire, I think you might find yourself having to bend it back into the desired shape regularly.

No, they are the same. I've used different types for different project. They all work very well for everything I've used them for. From lights to decorations/pictures on walls, and they do remove easily. Just make sure which hooks you have(some use same strips) before ordering.

Not at all. The adhesive tape on the back of the hooks is similar to double-sided tape!

I used this wire for an electronic dog fence. It is buried in my yard and has not been harmed by any of the elements.

i would save your $ and just buy 100lb fishing line. The OOK wire is difficult to use.

The hooks on mine are metal, but this is not the same product I purchased (mine holds up to 40 pairs, loads from the front and the compartments aren't covered with plastic, they are all canvas). So I can't guarantee the hooks on the product pictured will be the same.
