Product Information
Full details
The Pikepro 7-Strand Predator Fishing Trace Wire is an essential component for predator anglers, specifically designed for those who prefer to build their own custom traces for pike and zander fishing. Offering superior kink resistance and a discreet dark bronze finish, this high-grade wire provides the strength and flexibility needed for professional-level rig building. While it is incredibly reliable for heavy-duty predator work, it requires careful handling during the tying or crimping process to ensure optimal connection strength.

FAQs
Can I use this wire for jerkbait fishing?
Yes, its seven-strand construction offers the durability required for the aggressive movements associated with jerkbait fishing.
Is this wire coated or bare?
It features a dark bronze finish that provides a low-visibility profile in the water.
What is the best way to cut this wire?
Use dedicated wire cutters or sharp side cutters. Avoid using standard scissors, as they will blunt quickly and fray the wire ends.
Does the wire come with crimps included?
No, the product is sold as a 20-metre spool of wire only. You will need to purchase compatible crimps separately.
Can I use this for saltwater fishing?
It is designed for freshwater predator fishing, though it can be used in saltwater provided it is rinsed with freshwater after every session to prevent corrosion.
Troubleshooting
Wire becomes kinked after catching a fish
While kink-resistant, heavy stress can cause minor bends. If a severe kink appears, discard that section of the wire to maintain full breaking strain.
Crimped connection slipping
Ensure you are using the correct size crimp pliers and that the crimp is properly aligned. Avoid overtightening as this can shear the wire strands.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent kink resistance for repeated use
- Discreet bronze finish reduces visibility to predators
- Versatile enough for both crimped and twisted connections
- Professional-grade material identical to pre-made rigs
Cons
- Requires proper tools for perfect crimping
- Ends can fray if not cut with specialized wire cutters
- Single colour option may not suit all water clarities
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best results, use sharp wire cutters to ensure clean cuts, as frayed ends can weaken a connection. If crimping, always select the correct size crimp for the diameter of the wire to avoid crushing the strands. For storage, keep the spool in a cool, dry place and ensure the tag end is secured under the spool rim to prevent tangles. Avoid exposing the wire to harsh chemicals or extreme saltwater for prolonged periods without a freshwater rinse, as this will help maintain the dark bronze coating's longevity.
