Quick take
A 280 lb stainless steel wire leader coiled at 30 feet with 10 copper crimps for sharks and toothy saltwater fish.
This 49-strand, 7x7 stainless steel wire comes in a 280 lb test and a 30-foot length, with 10 copper crimps included for finishing loops. It suits anglers rigging a leader for sharks or other toothy fish, where a bite-off costs the whole rig. A ready length of wire to cut and crimp makes it a practical starting point for building custom leaders.
