Quick take
Nylon-coated stainless steel leader wire that resists saltwater corrosion and is easier to knot.
This is a 30-foot spool of black nylon-coated stainless steel leader wire in 7x7 construction, rated at 60 lb breaking strength. The coating keeps water off the steel and makes the wire less visible in the water, and it ties easily into rigs and leaders for toothy saltwater species.
Best for
- Saltwater fishing from boats
- Live bait rigs for toothy fish
- Situations requiring tough leader material
Skip if
- You fish only in freshwater
- You prefer monofilament leaders for less visibility
Strengths
- Nylon coating prevents water intrusion and extends lifespan
- 7x7 construction is extremely flexible and twist-resistant
- Reduced visibility in water with black or red nylon coating
Trade-offs
- Knots require proper technique to achieve full strength
- Less popular than wire so fewer resources online
Fishing fit
- Water
- Saltwater
- Techniques
- Bottom fishing
- Live bait
