Description
xPremium saltwater leader for big-game fishing
The AFW American Fishing Wire 49 Strand, 7x7 Shark Leader Cable delivers dependable strength for serious saltwater adventures. With a bright finish and an 800 lb (364 kg) test, this leader is built to handle fast trolling lures and toothy targets without excessive sag or distortion.
Constructed with 49 strands in a 7x7 pattern using Type 304 stainless steel, it offers impressive tensile strength and abrasion resistance. The result is a heavy-duty leader that remains smooth under tension, helping you maintain a predictable line path during long runs and tough pulls. The design also contributes to kink resistance, reducing the chance of twists during loading and fighting efforts.
Made in the USA, AFW has a long history of wire leadership expertise dating back to 1976. The leader’s 0.081 inch (2.06 mm) diameter provides a balanced profile for many big-game rigs, while the 300 ft (91.5 m) length gives you strategic flexibility to rig multiple setups or extend your trolling runs without frequent re-spooling.
