Tooth Proof Single Strand Wire

Tooth Proof leader wire lives up to its name and provides maximum protection against the ferocious jaws of Barracuda, King Mackerel, Wahoo and other toothy fish. Made from specially controlled Type 304 stainless steel alloy to be hard, but not brittle, and to deliver the perfect combination of flexibility and strength. Tooth Proof possesses incomparable abrasion resistance and tames the toughest toothy fish. AFW’s unique pre-straightening process eliminates cast, providing a straighter leader wire with improved kink resistance. Special Camouflaged Brown finish vanishes in deep water. Tournament tested tough, this proven leader wire continues to put anglers on the winner board! Long range fishing, most often this wire is used for making up wahoo bait rigs. Sharkers will use the heavier wire for their bait rigs, sometimes cable as well.

Surfstrand Multi Strand Wire

Surfstrand 1x7 is made of corrosion resistant, spring temper stainless steel.  Surfstrand’s 1x7 construction offers higher break strength and more realistic action than similar products from other suppliers. The wire is specially stranded to deliver superior kink resistance, and the high strength of stainless makes this an excellent wire for leaders, lures, and trolling. Camouflaged Brown finish minimizes reflections and disappears beneath the water. Attach Surfstrand using crimping sleeves and crimping pliers or tie with a Figure 8 Knot. Long range fishing, most often this wire is used for making up wahoo bombs.

Surflon Nylon Coated Multi Strand Wire 1X7 Strand

Surflon 1x7 is a great all-around leader wire for toothy fi sh. This wire is our Surfstrand 1x7 stainless steel with a smooth coating of nylon. A specially selected grade of nylon, tough yet flexible, is used to seal out water, reduce visibility, and improve the life of the line. Compared to our competitor’s old style 1x3 construction, Surflon’s 1x7 construction offers higher break strength and more realistic action. Surflon 1x7 is an effective leader wire for hard-charging, toothy fish such as Bluefish and King Mackerel. For guys going to Alaska, this is often a guide recommended wire product.

49 Strand Cable/Wire

Made from high strength, corrosion resistant Type 304 stainless steel, 49-Strand 7x7 cable provides excellent protection against Shark and other big game toothy fish. This cable provides excellent kink resistance and bite protection. Oftentimes when a Shark strikes a bait, they twirl violently. This motion can kink single strand leader wire and can actually be more destructive to your tackle than the fierce bite. 49-Strand resists kinking, wrestles back, and allows you to hook up and haul in. Available in Camouflaged Brown.

Sleeves

Sleeves are made of Copper or Brass and are available Nickel plated and Black oxidized. Double Barrel Sleeves are available in standard thick wall in bare Copper and Black finishes. Thin Wall Double Barrel Sleeves, available in Black finish, are excellent for use with big game mono leader material. Sleeves can be fitted to wire, monofilament, and other various lines. Burr-free nonabrasive finish combined with high strength and corrosion resistance makes AFW’s sleeves the preferred choice of professional leader, lure, and tackle manufacturers. Use the single well sleeves for cable/wire.

Aluminum Sleeves

Aluminum sleeves are a bit softer than copper or brass. Some folks prefer them for rigging up mono. In my estimation it's purely subjective and personal choice. More often I'll use the double-well style, but there are times when aluminum becomes a first choice. Try 'em both and arrive at your own conclusion. The sleeves are packed 25/box.
