    Wire for Leader

    Is it safe to assume that J&M carries any type of wire needed for leader? 7Strand or single wire?

    Great! I've got every intention of targeting some more toothy varieties when I take my kayak BTB, so I want to be prepared. Thanks!

    J&M is one of the few places I can find 7 strand in both coated and non-coated.

    J&M stocks single strand from 27 to 360lb, seven strand from 10 to 325lb, 49 strand from 175 to 1100lb. The single strand comes in 30' and quarter pound coils,all seven strand in 30' spools with 10-60lb avilable in 300' . All the 49 strand comes in 30' but we stock 275,700,1100 and in 100' roles and 1000' spools.
