AFW 49-Strand Stainless Steel Shark Leader Cable is designed for the violent twisting, rolling, and biting action of sharks and other large toothy predators. Its bare 7x7 construction combines 49 strands of high-strength Type 304 stainless steel, providing flexibility, abrasion resistance, and dependable bite protection.

When a shark rolls after striking, rigid single-strand wire can kink and weaken. This flexible multi-strand cable better withstands repeated bending and twisting, making it an excellent choice for heavy offshore leaders and custom big-game rigs. The Camo Brown finish reduces glare, while the 30 ft. coil provides plenty of material for building multiple leaders.

For clean, dependable connections, cut the cable with proper cable shears and terminate it with correctly sized double-barrel sleeves and a compatible crimping tool.
