Offering a balance of immense strength and high flexibility, this wire ensures your bait poppers, rattles, and traces remain securely in position during cast and retrieve.

FAQs
Can I reuse the wire after unrigging?
While technically possible, it is recommended to use fresh wire for each session to ensure maximum strength and avoid weakened sections.
Is this wire suitable for making main traces?
This wire is specifically designed for rigging bait and accessories; it is not intended for use as a primary hook-length trace.
Does the wire have a coating?
The wire is finished to be durable and smooth, making it easy to handle and wrap without causing damage to the bait.
How do I cut the wire safely?
Always use a pair of dedicated wire cutters or heavy-duty side cutters to ensure a clean cut without fraying.
Will this wire rust?
The wire is designed for fishing environments and is highly resistant to corrosion, though regular cleaning and drying after use will prolong its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Wire kinks or twists during application
Use pliers to apply tension and straighten the wire before making your wraps.
Wire slips off the bait tail root
Ensure you are using a tighter wrapping technique and consider adding one extra turn to increase friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, use sharp side-cutters to trim the wire to the required length. When wrapping, ensure you complete at least three to four tight turns to distribute pressure evenly. While the wire is corrosion-resistant, it is good practice to wipe it down with a dry cloth after use in saltwater or brackish conditions. Store the spool in a cool, dry place within your tackle box to prevent the wire from becoming tangled or damaged by other sharp hooks or swivels. When not in use, secure the loose end under the spool label to keep the remaining wire neat and organized.
