| Type | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Single Strand | Extremely tough, thin diameter | Stiff, may kink |
| 7×7 Strand | More flexible, good for lures | Slightly bulkier |
| 7×19 Strand | Most flexible (best for casting) | Less abrasion-resistant |
| Coated Wire | Smoother, quieter in water | Coating can wear off over time |
✔ Use a Swivel – Prevents line twists during retrieval.
✔ Short Leaders (12-24”) – Long wire leaders can reduce lure action.
✔ Check for Kinks – Replace if bent/damaged to avoid weak points.
✔ Pair with Heavy Rod – Wire has zero stretch, so a forgiving rod helps.
