Westin Coated Stainless Steel 49-Strand Wire Leader 5m 0.40mm 6kg Black

Westin Coated Stainless Steel 49-Strand Wire Leader 5m — Bite-Proof Flexibility for Predator Fishing

A 5-metre spool of 0.40mm, 6kg wire leader material that handles knots and crimps with equal ease — built for anglers who want reliable tooth protection without sacrificing lure action.

Soft as Braid, Tough as Steel

Woven from 49 individual strands in a 7×7 configuration, this high-carbon stainless steel wire has a silky, supple feel that lets small lures swim freely. The Co-Polyamide coating adds a layer of abrasion resistance, keeping the wire in fishable condition even after contact with sharp gravel, dock edges, or pike teeth.

Corrosion Resistance You Can Count On

The matte black Co-Polyamide coating seals the steel against moisture and salt, making this wire equally at home in freshwater rivers, stillwaters, and coastal estuaries. The finish also reduces visibility in clear water, giving finesse presentations a better chance of fooling wary predators.

Choose the Right Variant

The Westin Coated Stainless Steel 49-Strand Wire is available in five diameters to match your target species and setup. All variants come on a 5m spool.

• 0.40mm / 6kg — light predator fishing; perch, small pike, zander with finesse lures; clear-water situations requiring low visibility (current variant)

• 0.48mm / 14kg — medium pike, larger zander, asp; versatile all-round diameter for spinning and trolling

• 0.60mm / 17kg — hard-fighting pike and catfish; heavier jigs and large soft baits

• 0.70mm / 24kg — big pike and catfish; strong currents or heavy structure where abrasion is a concern

• 0.78mm / 34kg — trophy catfish and large pike; offshore predator setups; maximum bite protection
