AFW Surfstrand Stainless Steel 1x7 Wire Leader is made of corrosion resistant, spring temper stainless steel. Compared to our competitor’s old style 1x3 construction, Surfstrand’s 1x7 construction offers higher break strength and more realistic action.
The wire is specially stranded to deliver superior kink resistance, and the high strength of stainless makes this an excellent wire for leaders, lures, and trolling. Camouflaged
Brown finish minimizes reflections and disappears beneath the water. Attach Surfstrand using crimping sleeves and crimping pliers or tie with a Figure 8 Knot. Made in USA by AFW.
Made from 304 stainless steel for maximum durability and bite resistance, AFW Tooth Proof Stainless Steel Wire Leader is a single-strand leader from American Fishing Wire offered in 30-foot lengths with bright and camo finishes.

For best results, use a dedicated wire cutting tool like that found on the AFW Crimping Pliers; available here. Connect hooks and lures with haywire twists, and use albright knots to attach the wire to the leader.

The Hi-Seas Stainless Steel Loop Protectors are essential components for building durable, long-lasting fishing leaders and rigs. These precision-manufactured thimbles protect your line loops from chafe and abrasion, extending leader life and preventing failures at critical connection points.
Superior Chafe Protection
When your leader loops connect to swivels, hooks, or lures, friction and movement create wear points that can compromise your rig. Hi-Seas loop protectors eliminate this vulnerability by providing a smooth, hard surface that shields your line from abrasion. The result is stronger, more reliable connections that hold up through repeated casts, trolling sessions, and hard fights.
Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel
Manufactured from premium stainless steel, these loop protectors resist saltwater corrosion and maintain their integrity season after season. Unlike cheaper alternatives that rust and weaken, Hi-Seas thimbles deliver consistent performance in the harsh offshore environment.
Professional-Grade Construction
Each loop protector features smooth, rounded edges that won't damage your line during crimping or use. The precise sizing ensures a secure fit within your crimped loops, while the polished finish reduces friction and wear on your monofilament or fluorocarbon leaders.
Versatile Applications
Perfect for offshore trolling leaders, live bait rigs, bottom fishing setups, and any application where loop strength and durability matter. Whether you're building wind-on leaders for billfish, wahoo rigs, or heavy tuna leaders, these thimbles provide the protection your connections need.
Essential Rigging Component
Serious anglers know that the strongest leader is only as good as its weakest point. By reinforcing your loops with Hi-Seas stainless steel protectors, you eliminate a common failure point and gain confidence that your rigs will perform when it matters most.
Perfect for: Offshore trolling leaders, live bait rigs, wind-on construction, bottom fishing leaders, tournament rigging, and charter operations
