Overview

A pre-rigged 5-foot leader built from 7x7 braided stainless steel rated to 480lb, terminating in a 16/0 Mustad 39960 circle hook.

This is a rigged leader, not bulk wire, made for fish that can bite through mono or fluorocarbon. The 480lb stainless cable and 16/0 hook size point to shark or big game rigs rather than everyday inshore use.

Who it's for

Anglers targeting sharks or other toothy, hard-pulling fish who need a wire leader that can survive bite-offs. Overkill for typical inshore or freshwater species.

Performance notes

The leader uses 7x7 49-strand braided stainless steel rated to 480 pounds, ending in a 16/0 Mustad 39960 high carbon steel inline circle hook. That hook size and breaking strength are sized for fish large and toothy enough to cut through mono or fluorocarbon leaders.
