Hello all!
Coming out of lurk mode to ask a question! As some of you know, I've started to make my own hooks for presentation salmon flies, and I am looking
for a source for carbon steel (or any steel or iron ) wire. Don't need 5000
foot rolls of the stuff, but that's all I've found so far.
I have been using large streamer hooks for the wire so far, but I want to start completely from scratch now.
Does anyone know where I can find reasonable lengths (like 100 or 150 foot) of wire? I want the diameter to be about 0.10 or 0.12 inches.
Any ideas out there?
Cheers, Tim
