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.

Can't answer whether or not they sell the hooks but the cord is fairly stiff so I wouldn't expect them to perform as a standard bungee cord. Not necessarily a bad thing, they are more rugged, jacket is much much better but they stretch about 1/2 the amount.

Hello, the smallest I was able to make was just over a 2mm, the next size was 3.5 and the largest 5mm. I realize the 2mm sounds small though I had purchased for a particular project. I was using 26 gauge wire and was wanting a tight loop. Also the pliers were rather heavy so it was bending the wire from the shear weight. But they are well made just too big and heavy for me. Unfortunately I do not use them. Hope this helps.

Yes, this is what I used for my pool pump. Just a couple of screws to remove the wires and then repeat the process to attach this. Works still and doing great. I highly recommend this item!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes the hook is standard size. The body of the hanger is child size. Hope this helps.

Not sure, look at the male end and see if will be received by the connection on your fish finder

Its the same but takes up half the space. I use it when fishing on a pier to cut other peoples weaker mono. Means more fish for me.

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.

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.

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.

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