East,

Are you trying to make inline spinners? The reason I ask is because the link you posted is for steel leader wire. This is not ideal for making a typical inline spinner with a rigid wire body. Typically, the wire diameter for inline spinners varies by maker's choice, which is usually driven by intended species.

Now if your talking inlines made by line, I have never made those, like the kind made from mono for trolling.

For example:

0.018 - 0.025" diameter is fine for trout, bass, and pan fish.

0.031 - .042" diameter is good for larger bass, trout, steelhead, and salmon. Also, to give you a reference, a spinnerbait wire diameter is going to be from 0.031" and up.

.052" + You're talking muskie class and greater.

These are just guidelines. Nothing is set in stone.

Thanks for the help: I traget bass & pan fish
No trout, steelhead, salmon, muskie - it's just too hot for them in East Texas 8(
How ever do have Texas Size Alligator Gar!!!

More info on Gar Fishing w/Video.

Danger to Humans: Due to its large size and sharp teeth, the alligator gar is capable of delivering a serious bite wound to fisherman or swimmers. However, there is no documentation of attacks on man by alligator gars. The eggs are poisonous, causing illness if consumed by humans.

a fresh question...how refreshing... wire size has a direct effect on spinnerbaits. some companys use a tapered wire. i refuse to use a spinnerbait with a wire thicker than .43... i prefure for bass to use the thinnest wire i can get away with .31-.32.... when in the intercoastal where giant red fish swim i use a .36-.38 wired bait.. belive me the ONLY real diferance is in the type of wire. titanium springs back but will break real easy.. i like a stainless wire and let them make a paper clip out of it..

btw when fishing for redfish and such i use a blade with a hay wire twist..for bass i use a r bend...
