Looking at the web site posted above the only difference between 304 and 316 stainless is alloying materials which give 316 better corosion resistance. I use 316L welding wire and find ok. All I use is a nail in a vice and a pair off pliers.

I've had plug testers report that fish have split the wood. Never lost a fish on 304L wire. It's easy and almost a pleasure to tail wrap.

Me either... a friend took a bunch of my plugs to Mexico last year and fed them to the roosterfish and other assorted rock and reef dwellers.. the wire( 304L) held fine.. the plugs.. DESTROYED.
