Product Information

Full details

The Drennan E-SOX Spin Trace is designed for predator anglers who prioritize durability and tangle-free performance when using lures like spinners, plugs, and spoons. Crafted from 28lb nylon-coated wire, it provides the essential bite protection needed for pike while maintaining a streamlined profile to minimize underwater visibility. While it is highly robust, users should note that the 35cm length is specifically optimized for smaller lures and might be short for certain specialized big-bait setups.

FAQs

Is this trace suitable for saltwater fishing?

While it is primarily designed for freshwater pike, the components are durable; however, you must rinse them thoroughly with fresh water after each use to prevent corrosion.

Can I use this for bait fishing?

This trace is specifically engineered for lures like spinners and plugs. It is not recommended for deadbait rigs, which require longer wire traces.

What is the breaking strain of this trace?

The Drennan E-SOX Spin Trace is rated at 28lb (12.7kg).

How often should I change the trace?

You should change the trace whenever you detect kinks, fraying of the nylon coating, or if the swivel/snaplink shows signs of damage.

Can I use this for perch?

Yes, it is excellent for perch fishing, especially in waters where pike are present, as it provides necessary bite protection.

Troubleshooting

The trace is tangling during the cast

Check that the tapered sleeves are properly covering the crimps and ensure you are not using a lure that is too light to keep the line tensioned.

Wire has become kinked

Do not attempt to straighten the wire as this weakens the structure; discard and replace the trace.

Snaplink is hard to open

Check for debris or grit in the locking mechanism and rinse with fresh water.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Not intended for very heavy-duty predator species

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your rig, attach the size 9 swivel to your main leader line using a strong knot such as a Palomar or Clinch knot. Ensure the main line is compatible with the 28lb test strength of the trace to maintain a balanced setup.

For care, inspect the wire after every outing, particularly after catching a pike. If you notice any fraying of the nylon coating or if the wire appears kinked or bent, replace the trace immediately to prevent failure. Rinse the trace with fresh water after fishing in salt or brackish conditions to prevent corrosion on the swivel and snaplink components.
