sinker wires ??

[tonyfromalnwick]

I'm after a couple of hundred wires to finish off a hundred sinkers...where do the weight makers on here get theirs from, and what kind of money ? (pm me if you'de rather not say in public !)

Or is it cheaper to buy a small roll of wire and cut it up ?

Cheers lads and lasses.

I had a search around, can't find them cheaper than ebay unless you bulk buy a kilo at a time (not sure how many there'd be in a kilo, but I'm guessing probably 1000 ish) woking out around £35-£40.

I use the galvanised outter wire from steel wire armoured cable it doesn't rust making them last longer and no rust to chaffe line.

I always bend the wire into a 'U' shape then turn the ends over that go inside the mold for safety otherwise the wire can pull out making it dangerous for casting just something to bare in mind

Thanks for the replies, I've ordered some from the eBay seller.
