Cortland C16 Wind-On Leader Material provides a premium splicing platform for anglers who build and customize their own offshore leader systems. Constructed from 16 gel-spun polyethylene carriers, its round, tightly braided hollow core supports end loops, direct splices, and strong connections to monofilament or fluorocarbon leaders and top shots.

The smooth, fine-diameter construction provides excellent handling while maintaining the strength and durability needed for demanding saltwater rigging. Cortland’s FiberTech treatment bonds with the individual fibers to improve handling and reduce friction, while ColorLast technology supports long-lasting color retention. Its low-stretch construction provides a direct connection when fighting powerful offshore species.

Offered in white on a 100-foot spool, this listing includes 100 lb., 130 lb., and 200 lb. test options for building custom wind-on leaders, offshore top-shot systems, and other spliceable hollow-core connections.
