Made from high strength, corrosion resistant Type 304 stainless steel, 49-Strand 7x7 cable provides excellent protection against Shark and other big game toothy fish. This cable provides excellent kink resistance and bite protection. Often times when a shark strikes a bait, they twirl violently. This motion can kink single strand leader wire and can actually be more destructive to your tackle than a fierce bite. 49-Strand resists kinking, wrestles back and allows you to hook up and haul in.

American Fishing Wire 49-Strand K175C-0

Best wire for rigging large lures (like the Nomad Designs Madmacs) for Wahoo and Tuna Trolling
Pros
- 175 pounds is optimal to rig large lures for toothy critters when you don't want to lose expensive hard lures.
- Virtually corrosion-free.
- "Soft" for its diameter and easy to loop and crimp.
- Cheap investment to save a 50 to 90 dollar lure.
- Not a significantly different hook-up rate than heavy (250-300 pound) mono.
Cons
- As with using any wire (stranded or single strand) some fish are just naturally leader shy. You'll get more hookups with equivalent diameter mono but you WILL lose a lot of expensive tackle. I'd rather use the wire than not.

I’ve made many leaders with this and it is very easy to work with. I’ve hauled in 100-200 lbs threshers with this with no problems or failures.

good stuff with some pros and cons
February 10, 2021
Hey, I used the AFW stuff for a while, now I'll listen the pros and cons, cause it's probably the best in it's league but still haves some downsides.
Pros
- very flexible, auufordable and very hard to kink, meaning it have to be bend in a extreme sharp angle to leave any kinks in the leader, while being very soft what helps to give an livebait more movement.
Cons
- the first con is that it's only made out of AISI304/1.4301 grade stainless steel, like pretty much all cable sold for fishing purposes, what makes it corrode pretty easily in saltwater, meaning it will show significant corrosion within days, to avoid this minimum AISI316/1.4401 had to be used, what would take weeks of permanent contact to O2 rich saltwater before corroding, what's way longer than the lifespan of fishing leaders. nonetheless it's perfect for fishing in freshwater where it won't corrode at all.
- another note, have nothing to do with the exact product: big sharks can bite/chew through 49 strand pretty easily, at least in fishable strengts, 10.000lb would be pretty safe but extremly thick as well. another thing, if you use crimps, they should be changed every day cause this spot will corrode way faster and is not visible, only in saltware as well.

Comes with knot instructions on the back. Making all my heavy duty trolling rigs with that. Behaves like a braided line thanks to the 49 strands.

Getting ready for a land based shark fishing trip, haven’t had a chance to fish with it but I’ve built some rigs already and should do the trick.
