Title: Stainless Steel rod.
Post by: Normslanding on December 20, 2014, 01:45:39 PM
Hi all, This to me is a good place to ask this, but some my not think so. I am looking for a source of SS rods.  The numbers (below) are probably a little off but it gives the idea. I do not need SOFT wire. These sizes are about what is used to make solid rings for jigs. I have a lot of old jigs that most would want to collect. As They are polished, painted, and or repaired I try to replace rings as needed. They will be fished with. Any sources you know will be appreciated.
      Thanks,
             Dave

I use TIG rod when making special butt rings but ROSCO makes most of the sizes I use.
