Location: oswego, il | I think 15" is about as long as you can buy that I have seen. Hagensfish is where I get it from. You.can always buy the coil and straighten it which is what I do. |

| Buy some stainless steel tig welding rod! Lots of diameters available and cheap (compared to lure building specific stuff). Get it at any welding/hardware place! The place I guy it from says a lot of people that buy it are using it for crafts and other purposes.

| Mason Wire made in Michigan: https://www.masontackle.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=155 Great stuff. I use SSBRI11-4 and SSBRI12-4 Each is enough for a 2 lifetimes for $17.

| E-Bay is a good place to find straight wire shafts. I've bought them up to 24" but not sure of a seller to recommend. Just be careful as not all stainless wire is suitable for use in a muskie lure. The stuff I use is .062 or heavier spring wire and is not very easy to bend. |
