AFW #3 Tooth Proof Stainless Steel Leader Wire – 32 lb, Camouflage, 653 ft

AFW #3 Tooth Proof Leader Wire for Big-Game Muscles and Stealthy Presentations

Chasing toothy fighters requires gear that blends into the scenery, resists aggressive bites, and keeps lures moving as intended. The AFW #3 Tooth Proof Stainless Steel Leader Wire delivers a practical balance of rigidity and flexibility, offering bite protection without compromising action. Its camouflage brown finish helps the line vanish in deeper water, so you can focus on the moment of strike rather than line visibility.

Crafted from a Type 304 stainless steel alloy, this single-strand wire pairs durable corrosion resistance with a robust yet responsive feel.AFW’s pre-straightening process reduces casting quirks and tangles, producing a straighter leader that resists kinks when a big fish takes hold. The result is reliable line-to-lure connections even after hard runs, long drifts, or quick runs to cover.
