Used this wire for a trout stream setup with a stinger hook. It held up well under pressure and didn’t kink even when the hook was pulled hard. The brown coating looks professional and the wire is easy to tie on without fraying.

Great for leader wires on predatory fish. Very pliable and doesn’t stretch much. Works perfectly with articulated flies. No issues with knot security or memory.

Solid performance in the field. A bit more expensive than some alternatives, but the sensitivity and resistance to kinking make it worth it for serious fly fishing.
