Quick take
Three 18 inch steel leaders rated for 30 lb test with stainless steel wire and black finish for multi-species fishing.
This 18-inch black steel wire leader ties between the main line and the lure, where it helps guard against bite-offs from toothy fish. It is rated at 30 lb test and is made from stainless steel wire. Anglers chasing pike, musky and other toothy species will find it a practical piece of terminal tackle.
Best for
- Live bait fishing with pike, musky or other toothy fish
- Bottom fishing where abrasion resistance is needed
- Anglers beginning with terminal tackle
Skip if
- You fish exclusively with lures and need less visible leaders
- You fish for species that do not bite through monofilament
Strengths
- Stainless steel wire resists corrosion in freshwater and saltwater
- Heavy 30 lb rating handles large fish and aggressive species
- Black finish is less visible than bright or silver wire in water
Trade-offs
- Wire leaders are more visible than fluorocarbon in clear water
- Stainless steel can kink if bent sharply and weakens at kink points
- Triple-strand construction is less flexible than monofilament leaders
