More about Trace Wire

Trace wire, also known as leader wire, is a thin, flexible wire used in fishing to create a leader between the main fishing line and the hook or lure. It is typically made from stainless steel, which provides strength and corrosion resistance.

The main purpose of trace wire is to protect the fishing line from damage caused by sharp-toothed fish or abrasive elements such as rocks, reefs, and shells. This is especially important when fishing for larger or more aggressive fish, such as pike, musky, barracuda, and shark, which can easily cut through regular fishing line.

In addition to providing protection, trace wire also offers increased invisibility in the water, as it is typically thinner than the main fishing line. This can be especially important when fishing for species that are more easily spooked or have keen eyesight, such as trout or bass.

To use trace wire, an angler would tie it to the main fishing line using a knot or swivel, and then attach the hook or lure to the other end of the trace wire using a loop or clip. The length of the trace wire can vary depending on the type of fishing and the size of the fish being targeted.

Overall, trace wire is an essential component of many fishing setups, offering protection for the fishing line and improved visibility in the water. It is widely used by anglers in both freshwater and saltwater fishing, and is available in a variety of sizes and strengths to suit different types of fishing and fish species.
