Gamakatsu Wire Leader EX3 Fishing Steel Cable This is a ready-made, high-quality wire leader developed specifically to prevent line cuts from fish with sharp teeth, such as Sawara and Tachiuo (Cutlassfish/Hairtail), while maintaining the lure’s natural movement. Flexible Structure (Soft Wire): The leader is made of flexible cable (“Soft Wire”) coated with nylon. This flexibility is crucial because it does not interfere with the lure’s swimming action, unlike rigid and old cables. Integrated Snap: The connection between the cable and the snap is secured and covered with heat shrink tubing. This creates a single, smooth unit that prevents tangling and protects the connection. High-Quality Snap: Equipped with Gamakatsu’s “Onsoku Power Snap” (strong snap for quick connection). Size #49 (thinner). Size #47 (stronger).
