Although I use this wire for a slightly different use, I'm happy with it's quality.

What I do is, take about 8 inches of wire, take two hooks, and bend the eye hole to a 90 degree angle, slide a hook up to about 2 inches from the top, and slide the second hook about 4 inches lower than the top hook, then with two pliers, I pull taught both knots at the same time, otherwise if you pull the knots tight individually, then you end up causing a crimp in the wire in between the two hooks. I then tie in a double barrel swivel on top, so I can easily attach it to any swivel. With the extra wire on the bottom, I cut it right below the knot on the bottom hook, and use that to tie the top hook to the wire. With this setup, you slip a worm over the bottom hook, then attach it to the top hook. With a wire this thin (27lbs test,) in the water it just appears to be a worm swimming in the water, and when a fish bites the worm from behind, it catches the hook.

You can probably use a thinner wire, one with less test pounds, but 27 test pounds was the cheapest, but anyway, this wire knots very cleanly, and stays straight even with a knot, something that's impossible to do with a braided wire. The only thing to consider is, using a wire with a thinner test pounds, for a softer wire to make cleaner connections, unless you have the appropriate tools to deal with a wire with memory. Anyway, nothing has to be perfect, afterall, the fish don't care.
