Wire Fishing Line And Leaders

Aquateko's Knot 2 Kinky Nickel Leader Wire is made with a special superelastic alloy, allowing it to be bent at least ten times more without permanent deformation. Its unique formula of Nickel and Titanium creates a high degree of elasticity and strength that can endure even the toughest battles with fish.

It is further programmed to stay straight with a complex annealing process for reliability. With higher tensile strength than ordinary steel leaders, Knot 2 Kinky is the ideal choice for both inshore and offshore fishing, eliminating the frustration of constantly changing kinked rigs.

Knot2Kinky wire leader is knottable, you don't need crimps or tools for this leader.  It is extremely elastic yet has a very high abrasion resistance.  It's made of nickel titanium so it has stretch, won't rust, ties with easy knots, and replaces normal steel wire.

AFW Surfstrand Stainless Steel 1x7 Wire Leader is made of corrosion resistant, spring temper stainless steel. Compared to our competitor’s old style 1x3 construction, Surfstrand’s 1x7 construction offers higher break strength and more realistic action.

The wire is specially stranded to deliver superior kink resistance, and the high strength of stainless makes this an excellent wire for leaders, lures, and trolling. Camouflaged

Brown finish minimizes reflections and disappears beneath the water. Attach Surfstrand using crimping sleeves and crimping pliers or tie with a Figure 8 Knot. Made in USA by AFW.
