Westin Stainless Steel 49-Strand Wire 0.63mm 34kg 5m Brown

Westin Stainless Steel 49-Strand Wire — Uncoated Bite-Detection Leader Material

A supple, uncoated 49-strand stainless steel wire that combines genuine knottability with the direct bite transmission of bare metal — purpose-built for crafting traces, stingers, and rigs.

Silk-Soft Construction for Easy Rigging

Woven from 49 individual strands in a 7×7 braid pattern, this high-carbon stainless steel wire stays remarkably pliable. You can tie it in standard knots or finish it with crimps without the stiffness that plagues cheaper wire — speeding up rig building on the bank or boat.

Uncoated Surface for Maximum Sensitivity

Without a coating to dampen vibration, every tap, nudge, and pull travels straight through the wire to your indicator or rod tip. The matte brown finish keeps the leader low-profile in clear or stained water while attracting minimal weed and debris.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants come on a 5 m spool in matte brown. Match breaking strain to your target species and rig style:

• 0.27 mm / 6 kg — Light traces for perch, zander, and smaller pike; drop-shot and finesse rigs

• 0.36 mm / 14 kg — All-round pike traces; spinner and jerkbait rigs

• 0.45 mm / 17 kg — Pike and medium catfish; heavier lure setups

• 0.54 mm / 24 kg — Large pike and catfish; strong-current or snaggy venues

• 0.63 mm / 34 kg — Big pike and catfish; demanding rigs and heavy-duty stinger setups
