AFW Titanium Single Strand Leader Wire 15 ft

Overview

The AFW STI030B-15FT spool holds 15 feet of titanium wire rated to 30 pounds at a .015 inch diameter, sold as one continuous length rather than a pre-cut short leader.

Titanium wire holds an edge over standard steel leaders in two ways: it resists kinking after a fish rolls it, and it keeps working even after minor abrasion where steel would develop a weak point. At 15 feet, this length is meant to be cut down to whatever leader size a given rig calls for, rather than fished at full length.

Who it's for

This spool suits anglers who tie their own leaders and want titanium's kink resistance for toothy species, not anglers wanting a leader that is ready to fish straight from the pack.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Titanium's main advantage over steel is that it keeps its shape after a fish thrashes on it, so a leader that would kink and weaken on steel wire can often be reused. The 30 pound, .015 inch spec keeps it in line with mid-size toothy species rather than heavy offshore game.
