Telephone Wire

Is this hard to get or can it be bought in electrical retailers etc????

Would prefer to use this as opposed to crimps for adjustability.

you should be able to buy in any hardware or computer shops

Chadwicks have rolls of the stuff out there.

Atlantic in Clonard should have it

Cheers for the replies folks.

Is this just basically the wire the one would use for a phone extension as such and just a matter of stripping it?

Or is a different wire altoghter?

Apologies for the ignorance.

Howeeya. Try some garden wire. The green plastic coated stuff. No need to strip it and it gets a grand grip without damaging the line. Strong enough for clips too

I located some telephone wire earlier this afternoon.

Jaysus I wont have to buy crimps for years

And after making a few traces up this evening I am wondering why I was buying them at all..LOL as I got 6mtr of wire (just to try it) for 2 Euro....

Hmmmm! Interesting, very interesting And a good way to ring in the new year.

Hey man, a few pics of your finished rigs with the telephone wire would be interesting to see. Sounds like a good idea and very affordable.

I know a lot of anglers down my way use this instead of crimps etc...

Big advantage of course is if you need to retie a new hook the rig is more adjustable etc than say a rig that has crimps.
