AFW Fishing Brands is a legendary line-up of innovative line, leader, terminal tackle, tools, accessories, and lures for saltwater and freshwater fishing. The brand's products are unique in their durability and performance.

Did AFW create the first knottable leader wire? Yes! The AFW Surflon Ultra/Surtstrand Ultra and Surflon Supreme/Surfstrand Supreme are extremely flexible and kink-resistant leader wires made of stainless steel that can be knotted to your bait and line like monofilament.

Bite protection from toothy fish is the main/ideal purpose of this leader wire. It's a hard wire that offers bite protection (or prevents break-offs) from toothy fish cutting the connection between your lure and your line, from such species as shark (salt) to pike/muskie (fresh). The wire is stiff but strong, making it suitable for bite traces. The recommended knots are the haywire twist or AFL test rig knot.

The wire measures .035"/0.89mm and has a #15 = 240lb test / 109kg test rating. The package includes 30ft of wire with a camouflaged brown finish that vanishes in deep water. The Type 304 stainless steel alloy is hard, but not brittle, and delivers the perfect combination of flexibility and strength. AFW's unique pre-straightening process eliminates cast, providing a straighter leader wire with improved kink resistance.

AFW is the leading wire leader producer, offering the fishing industry's most complete line of wire products made in the United States since 1976. The brand's products are proudly made in the USA at their factory in Pennsylvania.

Anglers can shop the complete range of AFW Fishing Brands products by visiting the dedicated stores for each brand: AFW, HI-SEAS, Triple Fish, and C&H Lures.
