Quick take
100 lb test titanium leader that stretches and recovers for bite-offs from sharp teeth and gill plates.
AFW's titanium single-strand leader wire is rated at 100 lb test and comes as a 15 ft length in .027 in diameter, in a smoke-black finish meant to fade underwater. It is built for toothy saltwater targets such as barracuda, king mackerel and wahoo, where a wire leader stands up to bite-offs. The Albright knot joins it to mono and the Clinch knot rigs it to a hook, and the wire does not cinch tightly, so knot choice matters.
Best for
- Barracuda and king mackerel that bite through mono
- Trolling live bait and lures in offshore waters
- Building leaders that resist kinking and fraying
Skip if
- You fish bass or walleye where wire is overkill
- You prefer monofilament leader for lifelike presentation
Strengths
- Titanium alloy stretches slightly before breaking
- Smoke black finish blends in saltwater
- Kink resistant from years of development in big game
Trade-offs
- Does not cinch tight in knots; Albright knot required
- Heavy wire can be felt by cautious fish
Fishing fit
- Water
- Saltwater
- Skill level
- Advanced
