Made from high strength, corrosion resistant Type 304 stainless steel, 49-Strand 7x7 cable provides excellent kink resistance and bite protection against Shark and other big game toothy fish. Oftentimes when a Shark strikes a bait, they twirl violently. This motion can kink single strand leader wire and can actually be more destructive to your tackle than the fierce bite. 49-Strand resists kinking, wrestles back, and allows you to hook up and haul in.Made in USA.
