AFW - 49-Strand Stainless Steel 7x7 Leader Cable:
AFW’s 49-Strand 7x7 Stainless Steel Leader Cable is built for maximum strength, flexibility, and bite protection when targeting sharks, marlin, and other toothy big game predators. Constructed from high-strength, corrosion-resistant Type 304 stainless steel, this cable offers superior kink resistance compared to single-strand wire—making it ideal when sharks spin violently during a strike or fight.
Perfect for rigging marlin lures and heavy offshore trolling spreads, each size corresponds to a common class of mono alternative: 480lb for light tackle, 600lb for medium to medium/heavy lures, and 800lb for heavy tackle applications. When you need dependable durability against crushing bites and brutal torque, 49-strand cable is the go-to solution trusted by offshore pros.
