AFW Titanium Surfstrand 1X7 Leader Wire - NEW PRODUCT!

Here's a new product, introduced at ICAST 2010, the first super elastic, knottable, kink resistant titanium stranded leader material. Oh, I forgot to mention, it's also corrosion proof since it's made from space age titanium. AFW's Titanium Surfstrand is a unique leader destined to be much appreciated by anglers seeking long term strength and rigging flexibility. Unlike most titanium wire, it can be crimped successfully, it's quite limp and can even be tied effectively. At present it's only available in three tests, 30#, 50# and 75#, but we're hoping to see higher tests introduced as time advances and production increases. If you are making up wahoo bombs, rigging "toothy critter" bait rigs, give this stuff a try. You'll be every bit as impressed as we are. This product is packed in 10 ft. 3.05 meter coils.

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 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.

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.

 

Double Sleeves

Double Barrel Sleeves are most commonly used with mono, but can also work well for 49 strand cable.

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 10-50/box depending upon size.

Chafing Springs

CharkBait Rigging Beads

Charp Colors! Over the course of a fishing season there are seemingly always things that run into short supply.  No matter how we try.  A couple years ago I ran into a wall on beads.  Told myself it wasn't going to happen again last season.  So, I bought a veritable plethora of tri-beads.  Got some great colors too (wish the picture showed off the brown and pink better...).  If you're resigned to believing the season's over, or if you're from the Southern Hemisphere and are just getting set for your season, now is a very good time to take advantage of our overstock.  Buy a few bags and get rigging.

For our sharkers, AFW supplies a LARGE Rattle Bead which is often run in-line on cable above a mackerel as an attractant. It can also be used inside a lure/squid skirt as further inducement to draw a strike from a mako. This item has been hard to find, but we've got a decent supply for folks making up their own rigs.
