Quick take
Pre-cut soft copper wire for rigging live or artificial baits to prevent bite-offs from toothy saltwater fish.
This is soft copper rigging wire in the 0.020 inch diameter, supplied as 50 pre-cut 9 inch pieces. It bends and twists easily, so it suits wrapping baits and building quick leaders for toothy saltwater fish. Anglers rigging ballyhoo or other baits for kingfish and wahoo can pull a piece from the tube and go.
