Spro Matt Black Leader 1x19 – Steel Leaders for Pike

Excellent steel leaders for casting and trolling pike lures

Spro's spinning leaders are made of steel, making them ideal for pike fishing as they resist the sharp teeth that easily cut through softer materials. The leaders are equipped with stable swivels and snap fittings, and feature robust construction throughout. Attach your lures (spinners, spoons, wobblers, or soft plastics) to the snap while securing the barrel swivel to your main line with a simple knot. The matte black finish eliminates underwater reflections that could spook wary pike, giving you an edge when conditions are tough. These steel leaders work equally well for both casting and trolling techniques.

Frequently asked

Which length and strength variant should I choose?

Choose based on your target pike size and fishing style. Lighter variants (6.8kg, 20–30cm) suit smaller pike and finesse casting with light lures. Heavier variants (14kg, 25–40cm) provide extra resistance for bigger pike and rougher water. The 25–30cm length offers good control and sensitivity, while 40cm leaders reduce the risk of pike turning inside your lure presentation.

What is the advantage of the matte black finish?

The matte black coating eliminates reflections caused by sunlight underwater, which significantly reduces the spooking effect on cautious pike and other predatory fish. Shiny components can flash and alert fish to the rig, so the non-reflective finish is a key advantage when fishing clear water or wary specimens.

Why does wire diameter matter?

Thinner wire (0.30mm) is more flexible, allows more natural lure movement, and is less visible underwater. Thicker wire (0.50mm) provides superior abrasion resistance against pike's sharp teeth and rough gill plates, making it ideal for aggressive fish and prolonged sessions. The 0.40mm diameter offers a middle ground between flexibility and durability.

Can I use these leaders for other fish species?

Absolutely. While designed for pike, these steel leaders work equally well for any sharp-toothed predatory fish, including musky, large perch, catfish, and saltwater species like barracuda and large snappers. The 1x19 steel resists bite-through and sharp fin damage from any aggressive fish.

How do I attach my lure to the leader?

The leaders feature a snap fitting at the end. Simply open the snap, slide the eye of your lure onto it, and close it securely. This snap system allows quick lure changes and keeps your leader intact between sessions. It also provides a small swivel action that reduces line twist during casting and retrieval.

What length leader should I choose for my water conditions?

In clear, calm water with cautious pike, shorter leaders (20–25cm) provide subtlety and are less visible. In turbid or rough water, or when fishing aggressive specimens, longer leaders (40cm) offer better control, reduce bite-offs, and keep pike at a distance where they're less likely to see the main line. Medium lengths (30cm) provide versatility across conditions.
