Premium 7x7 Stainless Steel Fishing Leader Wire - 49 Strand Heavy Duty American-Made Shark Fishing Cable (900lb Test) for Saltwater, Freshwater & Offshore Angling

Great for high speed trolling luresI bought this to replace a string on a cat toy(you know, the stick with a feather on the end of a string). I have a rowdy, voracious, 20lb cat who knows how to use his teeth like scissors. He will catch the toy with his paws and clamp down on the string. Three chews or less(mere seconds of work for him) and he is prancing off with the toy and I'm left with the empty and now useless stick. I have wasted at least 50$ on string toys. Finally I sprung for a toy with interchangeable toys, and decided to replace the string before even playing with him.This wire is awesome. He can't catch his claws in it and cheat, can't chew through it even if I let him hold it for several minutes, it isn't stuck in a coil(it doesn't curl after being wound), it was long enough for me to make several toys, and it has a nice flippy springy quality(not stretchy but it moves nicely).The leader wire is the weakest link in a lure.Like folks who tie up a quarter million dollar boat with a 29 cent string failure with this part of the lure is the place where failure is going to happenYou need to use 49 strand cable and you need to test the completed assembly with standard stress analysis procedures.I use a bicycle wheel to make the upper part that has no sharp bends or edges. and a 5 gallon bucket or large as a water filled calibrated load.Some cables fail but this one does what it claims.The other concern is the corrosion factor as well as the bending test. Lures that do not have action generally catch no fish. If you are using organic bait this is a good measure against the puffer fish who would bite off a finger if you stuck it in the two tooth mouth made by nature to cut coral.Flexible, strong yes. But sharks still have the last wordI coupled the 49 strand 7x7 600lb American Fishing Wire with some AFW .096" diameter (600lb) crimps and AFW 600lb snap swivels to make a bunch of monster leaders perfect for gator snagging.As a test I rigged a bar bell with 300lbs of weight and lifted the entire thing off the ground with my Penn Carnage CARJGII80200S60 rod rigged with a Penn SSV10500 real and 400lb test braided Dyneema line.All the American Fishing Wire terminal tackle passed the test. Now I am ready for my gator hunt!This is great leader for toothy fish and sharks. Held up great against threshers and makos we caught. Used this with the double barreled crimp sleeved 7F8 size also by American Fishing Wire and they both worked great! Get this product if your going to be fishing toothy fish. Also the color is great nice coffee color.Very nice wire, whips around Much better then Mono filament with Strength that can hold my own body weight (yes i tried it and it is higher then reated)it is very difficult to cut, i had not anticipated this, and will have to get some new cutters,(the dremel works in a pinch but is not fast or elegant) i have not tried it yet but if it preforms as well as i have seen so far i will be ordering more if i need itThere are only a couple of companies that manufacture this type of cable specifically for the offshore fishing community, and this is one of the best. This particular version is strong, well made, cable that is ideal for the special hook rigs I sometimes use for double-hook rigs to use in catching toothy fish like wahoo.AFW guaranteed qualityThin and strong.
