Made from 304 stainless steel for maximum durability and bite resistance, AFW Tooth Proof Stainless Steel Wire Leader is a single-strand leader from American Fishing Wire offered in 30-foot lengths with bright and camo finishes. Utilize this product as a bite guard for sharks and other toothy predators. For best results, use a dedicated wire cutting tool like that found on the AFW Crimping Pliers; available here. Connect hooks and lures with haywire twists, and use albright knots to attach the wire to the leader.
