Quick take
High-quality torsion-straightened leader wire sized for trolling and offshore applications.
Malin's 80 pound stainless leader is a single strand wire measuring .018 inch across, a size suited to trolling and wire rigs. It comes in a dark coffee finish that is treated, or in a bright finish that is left untreated. A 42 foot coil supplies enough wire to build several rigs.
