It doesn’t matter if you do your fishing in fresh, salt or brackish water because there are species of game fish in all aquatic environments that come equipped with formidable weapons of the dental variety—teeth. Small razors or big, pointy choppers, they all can have the same result when placed in proximity to fishing line and for the angler on the other end none it ain’t good!
Among the most popular game fish swimming around in North America’s abundant freshwater rivers and lakes are the northern pike, the muskellunge and their diminutive cousin, the chain pickerel, all toothy critters. In bays and along our beaches the bluefish is a notoriously aggressive inshore game fish with teeth sharp enough to make quick work of any baitfish. Then there are those pesky barracudas, king mackerel and wahoo all of which can snip through line like a pair of fine scissors. Sharks are probably the most well known of saltwater’s toothy critters (what fisherman doesn’t look forward to Shark Week on cable each year?) and their reputation for having a sharp personality is well deserved. Do some traveling to Central and South America, Africa or the Far East and the number of species of fish with awe inspiring dentures increases considerably.
AFW/HI-SEAS has been helping anglers deal with tooth critters for three decades by producing the finest wire and cable leader products in the world. All of their wire and cable is manufactured in their facilities in Valley Township, Pennsylvania using modern equipment run by skilled technicians who continually check the material coming off the line for quality, uniformity and durability. It doesn’t matter which toothy critter you have to contend with, AFW/HI-SEAS has the right leader for you. Tournament fishing for king mackerel is one example.
Kingfish have razor sharp teeth—lots of them—and they are as fast as a speeding bullet when they go on an attack run. When they nail a fish that has been unfortunate enough to get in the crosshairs of their sights it looks like Edward Scissorhands was on the job! Wire leaders are essential for catching these fish. The largest saltwater tournament trail in the world is run by the Southern Kingfish Association, which puts on or sanctions upwards of 60 events each year from Texas to North Carolina and in every state in between. Over the years AFW/HI-SEAS has been one of the SKA’s most reliable corporate sponsors and with good reason, these events provide an ideal testing ground for many of our products, especially wire leader material. AFW/HI-SEAS Tooth Proof Single Strand Stainless Steel leader wire has been the wire of choice for SKA competition teams for close to twenty years because it performs up to the expectations these anglers demand. I rest my case.
AFW/HI-SEAS has a wide selection of wire and braided cables for every use you can think of in freshwater and saltwater. Do you fish ultra light tackle for pickerel? They’ve got you covered with Surflon Micro Supreme in diameters so small you can hardly see it and that will work well with even the tiniest lures. Best of all you can tie it direct using the same knots you use in monofilament line. And while you’re checking out all the leader products at www.americanfishingwire.com be sure to check out the new Titanium Single Strand and Titanium 1X7 braided materials, the latest in products developed at the AFW research facility.
Teeth are no problem for anglers who fish with AFW/HI-SEAS wire and cable leaders. Check out their website and see for yourself.
