Great wire for rigging leaders

High strength and easy to work with in creating haywire twists. If you are looking to build your own wire leaders, you can't go wrong with this.
Pros
- high tensile strength and easay to work with.

I use this wire to make my king rigs for pier fishing in NC. it is easy to work with. its also pretty strong. I caught a tarpon over 100lbs from a pier using the 61# malin hardwire. there are even directions on the back teaching you to tie the knots needed for this wire.
Pros
- coffee color blends in. strong easy to work with.
Cons
- be careful not to kink the wire. it will weaken it dramatically

"This dark 80# test stainless wire is stiff enough to allow me to build my multiple hook troling rigs to run true in the water. I start with a 7/0 hook with a chin weight, then a side/back hook for the ones that don't take my whole herring.
The wire twists well, rolls tight, and breaks clean so there is no sharp edge.
If your needs include rigging hoos for troling rigs like mine, I would reccomend you give this hard wire a try."

Is 40lb wire sufficient for pier fishing for 30-40 pound king mackarel, or should I use 61lb wire since we use much higher drag pressures to stop the fish from going around the pilings and kings can get very aggressive at the last minute.
1 Answer
I would go up to 61lb because of the structure 40lb will be enough if you don't want to upsize but the 61lb will help you apply more stopping power to the fish.

How long is this wire? It says 555ft in the description. Is this a spool?
1 Answer
Depending on the lb test you want will determine how many ft you would get with the spool. For example the 61 lb test comes in 3 ft spool and the 80 lb test comes with 289 ft on the spool.
