How to Tie your own Steel Wire Fishing Leader

[SupraStringing11b]

would this work with heaver guage wire such as 80lb +?

[thundermistlures]

@SupraStringing11b It will work, but of course, the thinner the diameter, the easier it will be to tie - but it will certainly work for you!

Thanks for writing in and good luck on the water.

[SupraStringing11b]

@thundermistlures thanks a lot, i just did it with 80lb steel. was really tough but tested it and it held really strong.

[thundermistlures]

[huntingfever101]

is this strong enough for muskie?

[thundermistlures]

@huntingfever101 This is perfect for muskie.....it's a very strong knot and will not give out on you...use it with confidence.

@thundermistlures can i catch sharks with this?

[thundermistlures]

@Willettes1 Yes - you can use this to catch sharks - it will work great for you as they will not be able to cut you off.

really thanks for the video but I have couple of questions here:

1st, what's the brand of this steel line ??!! I have never find it in any store !!!

2nd, I want to catch some tailor, am fishing from fishing balcony western Australian cost and I just need to find a simple leader line that couldn't be cut when the tailor chew on it and not that thick nylon so that I can make knots easily !!! do u have any ideas??!!

I have a braid line infront of me from rovrex will it make the job ??!!!

[thundermistlures]

@euyooo The brand of wire line is called "oldtimer", made by Oldtimer Manufacturing in King City, Ontario, Canada,

You can try using fluorocarbon line as a leader. It will be a bit more resistant to cutting cut off, but wire line would be best.

The Viper Spoons are snelled with titanium wire line & this is also another great choice. It's kink resistant & "tooth proof".

You can find the viper spoons on our thundermist lures web site.

Thanks for writing in from Australia & good fishing.
