WFT Profi Deep Sea Leader 0.80 mm / 44 kg, 50 m

Product detailed description

WFT Profi Deep Sea Leader 0.80 mm has a clear role in homemade cod tube-eel systems and other tied sea rigs. The main line connects through a suitable upper swivel, baits work on branches and a metal lure or terminal sinker sits below. This version combines a substantial body with the ability to form tied loops and separate rig sections.

WFT supplies this sea-leader monofilament in a 50 m pack. The manufacturer describes a winding method intended to reduce twist as the material is dispensed. Let a cut section straighten and avoid introducing further turns during assembly. Pack length provides a reserve for homemade rigs; the completed trace works according to its layout and the quality of its connections.

Neighbouring diameters and rig choice. This is more substantial rig material than 0.60 mm. The 1.00 mm version moves towards natural-bait traces and heavy terminal leaders; 1.20 mm belongs to the heaviest class, rather than merely being a thicker version of the same tube-eel rig.

The upper connection of a multi-hook rig carries the complete setup, including possible loads from several hooked fish. Assess body and branches separately. Check each branch’s reach, hook movement and sinker attachment on the finished rig. Recheck spacing after changing hook or tube-eel size. A manageable shorter system can be more practical alongside the boat than a rig whose branches repeatedly catch each other.

For a tied connection, choose a knot suited to the actual monofilament and eye. Moisten it, align the turns and tighten steadily. If the line whitens, turns cross or the knot bears against a sharp edge, cut it off and retie. A crimped loop is an additional option only with a suitable sleeve and tool; their size cannot be copied from another diameter on similar breaking strain alone. Test each new connection under controlled tension.

Do not convert the 44 kg label figure into a fish weight you can lift by the trace. Connections, hardware and wear affect the completed rig. Inspect the terminal section and areas beside eyes after bottom or fish contact. Cut away damaged line, rinse used sea rigs in fresh water and let them dry. Keep spare material away from heat and direct sunlight. Abrasion resistance is not guaranteed bite protection; choose an appropriate terminal material when sharp teeth require it.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

When should I choose WFT Profi Deep Sea Leader 0.80 mm?

Conventional homemade cod tube-eel systems.

Can it be the body of a cod tube-eel rig?

Yes, homemade cod rigs are its main working application here. Match branch lengths and spacing to the actual hooks, tube eels and lower sinker.

Should I tie or crimp this diameter?

A tied connection is a practical option when the selected knot seats neatly in the actual eye. Moisten, align and test it. Crimping requires its own matched sleeve and procedure.

What should I check at the lure before fishing?

Check lure movement in the water, snap size, eye smoothness and the leader beside the lower connection. On a rig, also check branch length and spacing.

Does 44 kg describe the strength of the complete rig?

No. It is a declared material figure; connections, components and wear affect the finished rig. It is not a fish weight that can be lifted by the line.

When should I rebuild the trace?

After cuts, rough spots, flattening or damage beside an eye or connection. Remove the damaged section and test the replacement end fitting.
