Quick take
Durable 20-inch stainless steel braided wire leaders with rolling swivel and snap, rated for 120 lb strength.
This is a pack of 20 pre-made wire leaders, each 20 inches long and built from seven-strand braided steel with a black coating. Every leader ends in a rolling swivel and a crosslock snap, so lures change quickly and line twist stays down. The 120 lb strength suits toothy saltwater and freshwater fish where bite-offs are a concern.
Best for
- Pike and musky fishing where teeth demand protection
- Trolling and drift fishing with live bait
- Any fishing where abrasion from rocks, shells or fish teeth is a concern
Skip if
- You fish exclusively for species that do not bite through line
- You prefer fluorocarbon or monofilament leaders
Strengths
- 7-strand braided steel resists cutting from sharp teeth and rocks
- Rolling swivel reduces line twist in trolling and drifting
- Crosslock snap clips on and off lures or rigs quickly
Trade-offs
- Wire is visible in clear water and may deter wary fish
- Black nickel coating can wear off with heavy use in saltwater
- Less flexible than fluorocarbon or monofilament leaders
