Quick take
Twelve inch steel wire leaders rated 45 pound test with lock snap and barrel swivel connectors for freshwater and saltwater live bait fishing.
This 12-inch steel wire leader works in freshwater or saltwater and has a quick-lock snap at one end and a barrel swivel at the other. The black three-pack carries a 45 lb test rating, the kind of strength anglers pick when a toothy fish might bite through lighter line. Each leader is short, so it sits between the main line and the lure without adding much bulk.
