AFW Tooth Proof #19 Leader Wire provides heavy-duty bite protection for sharks, wahoo, barracuda, and other powerful toothy predators. Made from specially controlled Type 304 stainless steel, this single-strand wire is engineered to be hard and strong without becoming brittle.

AFW’s pre-straightening process eliminates cast for a straighter, more manageable leader with improved resistance to kinking. The Camo Brown finish reduces underwater glare, while the wire’s abrasion resistance helps it withstand teeth and demanding offshore conditions. Use a properly formed haywire twist or compatible crimping system to create dependable connections to hooks, swivels, and other terminal tackle.
