Solid copper wire?

[reeltrout]

Was trying to find solid copper wire. My buddy hand pulls copper on Seneca lake and he is looking to get some more. But we can't find it anywhere. Anyone know if it's still available?

Check with electrical supply places. In a pinch 600 ft of 30 lb AFW Surfstrand braided copper will work It just doesn't cut through the water quite as nicely as single strand.

Hit up Roy’s Boys on here or contact Roy’s Marina. He had some at derby time. Not sure what gauge but it was solid not braid.

This is the cheapest place I have found.

The same seller has rolls much bigger for much lower prices.  I just bought the 2000 ft roll here. https://www.ebay.com/itm/20-Gauge-Soft-Annealed-Bare-Copper-Building-Ground-Wire-Made-In-USA-500-FT/302167346320?hash=item465a93cc90:g:t9gAAOSwImRYUcIW.  2000 ft for $82 is a pretty amazing price.  I even got $25 off that because there was a delay in shipping.  Should be enough for many years.
