Westin Stainless Steel 49-Strand Wire 0.45mm 17kg 5m Brown

Westin Stainless Steel 49-Strand Wire — Flexible, Uncoated Leader Material for Predator Fishing

The Westin Stainless Steel 49-Strand Wire gives you a supple, highly sensitive wire for building your own traces, stingers, and rigs — in a matte brown finish that sits unobtrusively in the water.

Silk-Soft Construction for Easy Rigging

Woven from 49 individual strands in a 7×7 configuration, this high-carbon stainless steel wire handles like no other. It ties into knots cleanly and seats perfectly in crimp sleeves, so you spend less time at the vice and more time on the water. The soft braid stays kink-resistant even after repeated casts and fish.

Uncoated Surface for Maximum Bite Detection

Without any coating, the wire transmits vibrations and pressure changes directly to your fingertips and rod tip. You'll register tentative takes that a stiffer or coated alternative would mask. The uncoated construction also resists debris build-up, keeping your trace fishing clean session after session.

Choose the Right Variant

Five diameters cover everything from finesse perch and zander traces to heavy-duty pike and catfish leaders. Match breaking strain to your quarry and tackle setup:

0.27 mm / 6 kg (13 lb) — light spinning and drop-shot traces; perch, small zander, finesse setups
0.36 mm / 14 kg (30 lb) — all-round lure traces; zander, average pike, medium spinning rods
0.45 mm / 17 kg (37 lb) — current variant — stinger rigs and multi-hook setups; pike, large zander, medium-to-heavy baitcasting
0.54 mm / 24 kg (53 lb) — robust pike traces and big-bait rigs; heavy baitcasting, trolling
0.63 mm / 34 kg (75 lb) — catfish leaders and large-predator traces; powerful rods and heavy terminal tackle
