I use stainless welding wire? .....I would think something 30lb or 42lb single wire would work. Might have to put more of a bend....it's just to hold a bait fish.....the welding wire twisted fits just right in the lead egg sinkers for me

Coach---I use 120# test wire and could easily go to 150#. That's what Lloyd showed me, and I tried with lighter wire and it didn't work for me.

Okay thanks Goerge.
Honestly, I am not sure Tom. But your speculation has merit as recent rains would have brought an influx of nutrients into eastern LL and a subsequent increase in macroscopic life feeding on that...
