Titanium wire trace leader for pike & predators, Knot2Kinky
Pack of TWO (2) wire traces made from professional grade Knot2Kinky single-strand nickel-titanium (don't be taken in by others claiming "titanium" steel). This is pure nickel-titanium, not steel with small amounts of titanium. Nickel-titanium has incredible resistance to kinking (10x more than steel traces), can be knotted, and has up to 10% stretch for shock absorption which helps prevent breaking under stress. Bite resistant and corrosion free, these leaders are great for toothy predators such as pike and zander, and should also be used when fishing for any species where pike may be in the water. Because they're not made of steel, they don't rust and so don't need plastic coating which both increases the diameter (and increases the visibility) and reduces the flexibility (which reduces the action of any lure used). The elasticity of the wire means that shock loads are absorbed, meaning less fish lost through snap-offs. All traces are 30cm (12") long and fitted with top quality (Savagear) lure snaps at one end and 4.5mm oval rig rings at the other. Black heat shrink tube is applied at both ends for final neatness. A palomar knot is recommended for tying to your braid, and a half blood knot for use with monofil. Wire diameter:- 6lb (2.7kg) - 0.2mm (lb (5.4kg) - 0.25mm (lb - (8.1kg) - 0.30mm (lb - (11.3kg) - mm ("). Individually hand-made and tested in the UK, from USA manufactured nickel-titanium wire. Much cheaper than steel traces to use in the long run.
