Titanium Leaders
And Mighty Mini Snaps and Snap Swivels

Titanium Leaders

Big, brawny fish get a bad rap.

Like how a pro wrestler gets labeled a meathead.

No smarts.

So when a fish like an alligator
blue is targeted, anglers can think more about preventing a bite-off than finesse.

But fishing is about catching, and catching is about the right tackle.

These new Titanium Leaders, made to prevent bite-offs from toothy fish, are built to be the
right tackle.

They’re kicked up a notch.

Available in either single-strand
or multi-strand, the leaders are made to be flexible, resist kinks and stealthy.

Built from a super-elastic titanium alloy, they absorb the fish strike, snap back and recover, the company says.

The leaders--available in 30-pound, 50-pound or 75-pound breaking strength--come with AFW's new Mighty Mini Swivels and Snap Swivels.

A swivel is on one end to tie on the line, and a snap is on the other to attach the lure.

The swivels and snaps are made to be smaller, stronger and rotate smoother than usual.

The crimped ends on the leaders that attach the snaps and swivels are covered with black shrink wrap for a smooth, low profile.



The swivels are shown
attached to the Titanium Leaders.
But the swivels and snap swivels
are also available separately in a full selection of sizes. Although the snap in the shot is only a snap, not a snap swivel, the image shows the shrink tubing over the crimps.

Mighty Mini
Swivels and Snap Swivels

Built with 100-percent stainless steal, the Mighty Mini Swivels and Snap Swivels are three times stronger
than the same sizes of brass swivels,
the company says.

A smaller size than usual provides less visibility and less drag.

The steel also allows smoother rotation.

They come in various sizes in
gun-metal black.
