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.

Yes, I have soldered this wire. I have also used it for artistic soldering on my stone wraps. Just make sure it is clean and use flux.

not wire, but does have some nylon fishing line--I think it's 10LB test, hope that helps

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.

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

None - you shouldn't use that heavy of line in this lightweight reel.However, you could do what I do and use a braided line, which is much stronger than monofilament lines for the same diameter. I've got 6lb test Suffix braided line and it has a rated breaking strength of 20lbs, but the diameter of a typical 6lb test line (about the maximum diameter that should be used with this reel). The braided line costs 2-3x what a monofilament line would cost, but I figure it saved me much more than that in lost tackle, as I lost only two lures in a week's solid fishing and they both caught on the backside of heavy logs and frayed on the edge of the log.

Eh, it's not the most flexible stuff I've ever used, but it's not that stiff either. It's about on par with any other low count stranded when it comes to flexibility. In general, the higher the strand count the more flexible the wire. Wire with silicon insulation is usually much more flexible as well. This stuff is nowhere near 'wet noodle' soft, but it can still be bent easily enough.

Yes. This wire is intended for" invisible" type pet fences. You can splice this wire with the wire thats already there or hook up directly to the box. Lay on the ground or bury. If you make a splice be sure to grease the wire nuts and get water proof caps for your nuts

i do not know as i have used this to hold ribbon spools not to feed critters

Yes, that's what I bought them for. I have a chicken wire frame that I use these hooks to hang my necklaces on! These work perfectly

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

There is a VERY TINY loop to attach something to, unfortunately the manufacturer didn't supply one, and finding something that tiny that is strong enough to hold it is basically impossible. It's the size of a small gauge fishing wire.

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.

There are two wires attached on each side and you loop them on to a hook. Only problem I find that the string/wire slips on the hook making the tray crooked, but that doesn't happen that much.

I've never used it saltwater fishing but I would think it would work fine because you are using it on the hook and not the fish.

Yes. This aluminum board has the exact same clamp assembly with the hanging ring that any other standard fibre board clipboard has.

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