How do the various offerings of Lagartun wire compare to the thickness of the Ultra wire offerings?
What size of Largartun fine would be comparable with Ultra wire? -------------------- |

What size of Largartun fine would be comparable with Ultra wire? The Lagartun wire comes in x-fine, fine and small, where the UTC wire comes in x-small, small, BRassie, medium and large, and that is pretty much the order in sizes from smallest to largest between the brands. The small Lagartun is smaller than the x-small UTC wire, if that makes it any easier. C |

I had not used my micrometers in quite a while so I answered my thoughts on this subject last year by measuring wire I had in my tying kit. Here is what I recorded in my brain; ie. PDA:
DIAMETERS: UltraWire XSM = .004" Largartun Fine = .005" Danville Fine = .005" UltraWire SM = .007" Largartun SML = .007" 34 gauge = .007" UltraWire BR = .009" Dnvl Brassie = .009" UltraWire MED = .013" -------------------- disinfect your wading equipment before entering another body of water.
wash boat /trailer, disinfect livewells / sumps, wash your wad'n dog. |

Maybe it's just me, but Lagartun does not appear to be colorfast.
I can get the color to rub off with minimal handling of it. -------------------- |
