I've used this product, single strand 18lbs test for gotcha plugs / looney jigs.
I like it, it don't kink like single strand steel. but its not cheap.

how much is not cheap?
A pack of 27# single strand is pretty darn cheap and will last most guys a year or two if you don't make your leaders 2' long.Carl

I use single strand wire, about 15", when I fly fish for northern pike. I have never had them cut it with their many sharp teeth but I retie after about 10 fish. It's funny, if you catch a fish in the first 2' of the water column it will be a northern if it gets near the bottom it will be a walleye. Lots of fun!!!!!

I tried the titanium leaders,thinking they wouldn't cut as easy......wrong.....don't waste your money.
I made my own from a short spool.....never really used them again.....prefer mono for spanish and 7 strand for kings (all personal preference)Bill..............

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
