FAQs
What type of fish is this trace best suited for?
This 30lb Leeda Spinning Trace is specifically designed for predatory fish with sharp teeth, such as pike and zander.
How many traces are included in a pack?
Each pack contains two Leeda Spinning Traces.
What is the construction of the trace?
The trace is made from 1x7 strand wire, providing a balance of strength and flexibility.
Can I use this trace for saltwater fishing?
While primarily designed for freshwater predators, the trace is made from corrosion-resistant materials. However, thorough rinsing and drying after saltwater use are crucial to prevent corrosion.
What is the breaking strain of this trace?
The breaking strain of this Leeda Spinning Trace is 30lb.
How should I attach the trace to my lure?
You can attach your lure to the trace using a reliable snap swivel or a split ring for a secure connection.
Does the wire add significant stiffness to my line?
The 1x7 strand construction offers a good balance, but like all wire leaders, it can add some stiffness compared to a soft monofilament or braided line.
Troubleshooting
Trace appears kinked or damaged
Inspect the trace for any signs of damage, kinks, or fraying. If compromised, replace the trace immediately to ensure reliable performance and prevent line failure.
Knots slipping or failing
Ensure you are using appropriate fishing knots for connecting the trace to your main line and lure. Practice tying knots to ensure they are cinched down correctly and securely.
Trace is too visible in clear water
While effective, wire traces can be more visible than other leader materials. Consider using a shorter trace or pairing it with a less visible line. For extremely clear conditions, a fluorocarbon leader might be an alternative, but be mindful of its lower abrasion resistance against sharp teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Attachment to Main Line: Securely attach one end of the spinning trace to your main fishing line using a reliable knot such as a Albright knot or a Uni knot. Ensure the knot is tight and trimmed.
- Attachment to Lure: Connect your chosen lure (e.g., spoon, plug, jig) to the other end of the trace using a sturdy split ring or a snap swivel. Ensure the connection is secure.
Compatibility:
- Fishing Style: Ideal for spinning, casting, and trolling with lures for predatory freshwater fish like pike, zander, and large perch.

Care:
- Rinsing: After each fishing trip, especially in saltwater or brackish conditions, rinse the traces thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and debris.

- Storage: Store traces in a cool, dry place, ideally in a tackle box or a dedicated trace wallet to prevent tangling and damage.
