Westin Coated Stainless Steel 49-Strand Wire Leader 5m 0.60mm 17kg Black

Westin Coated Stainless Steel 49-Strand Wire Leader — Supple Bite Protection with Lasting Durability

A 5 m spool of 0.60 mm / 17 kg wire built from 49 strands (7×7) of high-carbon stainless steel and finished with an abrasion-resistant Co-Polyamide coating — everything you need to rig dependable pike, muskie, or predator traces straight from the spool.

Soft, Knotable Construction That Works Like Braid

The 7×7 braid pattern keeps the wire silky-soft and highly flexible, so it loads onto bobbins without kinking and ties cleanly with standard fishing knots. Whether you prefer a loop knot or a haywire twist, the 0.60 mm diameter holds form without springing back — a genuine advantage when building traces quickly on the bank.

Co-Polyamide Coating for Long-Term Reliability

The matte-black Co-Polyamide finish does more than provide low-visibility colour. It protects the stainless core against corrosion in both saltwater and freshwater environments, and its abrasion resistance helps the wire survive repeated contact with rocks, gravel, and the abrasive jaws of toothy predators. Crimps seat cleanly over the coating without cutting through — the wire is equally at home finished with a sleeve or knotted direct.

Choose the Right Variant

Five diameters cover everything from refined perch and zander setups to heavy catfish or saltwater rigs. Select the breaking strain that matches your target species and rod class:

• 0.40 mm / 6 kg — light lure and drop-shot traces; perch, zander, small pike

• 0.48 mm / 14 kg — all-round pike lure and deadbait rigs; medium-sized predators

• 0.60 mm / 17 kg — versatile pike and general predator traces; lure and bait fishing in open water ← current variant

• 0.70 mm / 24 kg — heavy pike and large-lure setups; big river or reservoir fishing

• 0.78 mm / 34 kg — catfish, large saltwater predators, and oversized rigs
