I haven't used it BUT, if it can be bent easy enough to fit into that dispenser, then it is way too flexible. Not like the stainless lure wire.

A freind gave me some welding rods to try, it was the same guage as the lure wire, and stainless, but way too soft, I am guessing it is similar to the safety wire.

I made the mistake of buying some of that stuff a couple of years ago. It won't work, it is way to flexible.

I tried the 1/16" stainless tig wire and found it to be more "springy" and flexible than the .062 stainless lure making wire, which seems to be much stiffer.

I use this wire with each oil change on my Cherokee, it is designed for flexibility as a safety wire on Oil Filters etc on aircraft, easily bends and will wrap around itself with ease. I have never used it in a lure application. I would be happy to send you some if you want to try it.
