As a farmer, I've used two types of "high tensile" wires for fences. One slightly softer than the other. The softer one comes in 8 inch diameter spools. You can gang them up and do a six line fence in one pass. The harder and more common type comes in two foot diameter spools and you typically have to do a six strand fence in 6 passes.
You really have to pay attention to tightening up the softer spools. Both want to revert back to their spool diameter. But when tightening up the softer wire, it will go down past it's 8 inch 'till it kinks and breaks itself. The harder wire flips out of a loop at about two feet to straighten itself out.
Can that be similar to higher/ lower tension strings?
