Drennan Green Pike Wire is a top quality stainless steel braid with an ultra thin nylon coating. This makes it extra smooth, improves durability and provides a subtle camouflage finish.
Pike rigs can be made up by the traditional twisted wire method and the twist sealed in place by melting and fusing the nylon coating over a low flame
Alternatively Drennan Slim Crimps one size up from those recommended for Drennan 7 Strand can be used
For strongest joints flatten crimp in three central places avoiding either end
When using a separate short section of wire on Roder hooks additional strength can be gained by heating the copper barrel after crimping. this will melt and fuse the nylon coating of the wire into a sealed unit
Used this wire in 15lb on canals and its one of the thinnest wires I've ever used, I'd recommend this to anyone - you can knot it or twist it pretty easily.
