does anyone know what kind of wire they use for making weedless hooks? I need to buy some and I don't even know what I am looking for, id like to know what its called and what gauge or diameter I should get? I just made one out of some 28ga kanthol wire I use to make coils for my vape but its a little to stiff and not springy enough and I m sure would rust quickly. below is a picture of what I am trying to do. Thanks

Cabelas sells wire for making stainless steel leaders. The company is American Fishing Wire. Something in the 50 pound test range should work well. Sells for around $15 for a 75 yard roll. 

That’s a pretty heavy hook for wacky rigging if that is what your using it for?

Hi Meeno, no I don't use those hooks for wacky, these are actually inline hooks that I use to replace treble hooks on many different lures, as I am 100% catch and release fisherman, I just don't like anything about treble hooks, but that's a whole nother story...haha

Thanks for the link. I ended up ordering some .10mm stainless wire the other day. Should be here real soon. I hope I picked the right diameter for stiffness.
