Good Rigging Thread

Put this crimped into barrels and you have the recipe for ending toothy fish from biting off.

When i have used this stuff given to me by a buddy to try

I had no problems with it, but i still did crimp it. I Understand that the whole point of it is you can tie knots with it, but i like the extra security knowing that line isn't going anywhere.

Leader material

I'm using this steel leader because the flurocarbon leader I've been using was getting bitten off. So far, so good.

Flexible and Strong - Great for Toothy Fish or Fishing in Structure

I fish the Gulf of Mexico in areas where the grouper hide in structure, and where there are also lots of toothy fish like sharks and king mackerel. This leader material snells hooks beautifully and makes strong loop knots for attachment to swivels. It is much easier to work with than single strand wire and holds up better to structural abrasion and breakage. The braided wire… read more has a plastic coating which helps secure knots. It may shred when it rubs on structure, but does not change the strength of the leader. Fantastic product!

Good for general toothy fish. Not for sharks!

As advertised you can tie select knots with this braided wire. It's a little tricky as the wire doesn't "lay where you put it" while tying. It tends to want to straighten, but with a short bit of practice it can be done. Works great for snelling hooks. I used the 40lb test for surf fishing NJ. It was fine for bluefish, but when a shark picked up the bait I got bit off several times… read more after 2-5 minutes of fighting the fish. The knots held fine. Examining the leader after losing the fish showed it to be either cleanly cut or abraded through, perhaps by its skin as well as teeth. A higher pound test might be more effective, but I've used 40 lb "conventional" wire for this purpose that did not break. In general I like this product, just have to work with its limitations.

Great

Very durable and easy to knot although it doesn't look as clean as single strand but works as advertised.

Good leader material

It is a thinner version of the nylon-coated AFW surflon wire. Now I prefer this one over nylon-coated version because I can use much stronger wire for the same thickness, or thinner wire for the same strength. Never lost a fish or a lure with this wire.
