Everything You Need To Know About Wind-On Leaders
What Is A Wind-On Leader?

A wind on leader is a clever invention that helps anglers have a better handle on big fish as they come boatside. Regular leaders will force you to stop reeling when the swivel reaches the tip of your rod leaving a longer length of line then necessary and make it extra complicated to handle your fish boatside. Our wind-on leaders come in 2 lengths (all purpose, and daytime swordfish).
5 Reasons Why You Should Use A Wind-On Leader
- 1) Its Safer For Your Leader Man (or Leader Woman #GirlsWhoFish)
- 2) Better Handling Of Big Fish When Boatside
- 3) The Seamless Connection Of Your Wind-On Allows You Use Heavier Leader With Smaller Guides
- 4) You Don't Need Hollow Core For A Topshot
- 5) Save Time & Energy Rigging For Big Game Fishing
