How many feet in a roll?
I would think that would be the way to go, heck, it ain't going to go bad. Your going to stretch the curve out of it anyhow, should work fine. Good thinking, CS.

thats .035 need .062 but your in the right ball park.

what about using 316L vs 308?

fairly similar in bendability isn't it?

I heard somewhere that piping plover is indian for "tastes like chicken" ..

I've used both and they are almost the same to work with. The 316 is more expensivee and as far as the 308 and 308L the L is a little harder to bend (*more nickle I believe)

Yep more nickel and I believe more chromium...

316 is much better at corrosion resistance.....

Anything UNDER 308 cannot be used with VMC hooks or you will see electrolysis happen rapidly and the hooks will rust in HOURS....

In the 300 series of Stainless Steels, the higher the number the more corrosion resistant. Don't know the particulars on the alloys but as the material gets more Ni and Cr it becomes tougher to bend especially after it has work put into it like straightening to make 36" rods or if it is spooled right after drawing without an anneal....

when did you become a metallurgist ?
didnt we talk about this ?
I would like you to show me #304 that rusts, and i will eat it right there on the spot. maybe your VMC hooks are having a reaction to the CORE in the 308L , the core is what makes it SOFTER.. thats why i went with the #304 which is softer due to the annealing process & no core. and NO it does not stretch too much as some suggested. You are dealing with .062 steel wire. Do you think its really going to "let go" I would love to see a #304 wire let go on a wood plug. that would have to be an 800 lb bluefin at the other end.

if you guys want 308L ON A ROLL i can easily order a skid of it.
I thought you wanted the #308 in " 36" and it had better be straight" stuff ?

i am cranky today
if i dont get to fish soon, i will

Hey Tinsnips there is no such thing as unicorns.

Salty is just listening to too much heavey meatal maybe???? maybe

Tinman send me a pm with a price per roll with amount in it. I may be swithing to .050 for thru wires. Not sure how much a difference it will make. I'm doing some tests now. I definately like to stay with 308.

Popper boy.
