WFT Profi Deep Sea Leader 1.20 mm / 100 kg, 50 m

Product detailed description

WFT Profi Deep Sea Leader 1.20 mm belongs to the heaviest leader class for targeting large ling and halibut on natural baits. Another clear role is a short terminal leader ahead of a large halibut jig. Choose it for the body or end section of a heavy rig, rather than conventional cod tube eels or an all-purpose lure leader.

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. Compared with 1.00 mm, cross-section and the demands on eyes and sleeves increase. Choose another appropriate version for a conventional tied rig; 1.20 mm is not an automatic upgrade for a rig intended for a different technique.

Ahead of a large jig, separate the leader’s role from the stinger. The leader connects the main line to the lure; the stinger carries hooks along the soft body and needs its own suitable fittings. On a natural-bait system, check that bait, hook and sinker do not readily tangle while lowering or retrieving. A heavy setup must remain manageable beside the boat, so choose length and hardware for a clear purpose.

For this heavy-duty class we recommend crimped end connections. The sleeve bore must suit the actual diameter and material path through the loop; use the appropriate tool and procedure for that sleeve. An excessive crimp may damage the line, while an insufficient one may fail to hold it. Follow the component manufacturer’s guidance and test each new connection before fishing. A bulky conventional knot forced into a small eye is not the recommended solution here.

Do not convert the 100 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 1.20 mm?

The heaviest traces for large ling and halibut.

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

This is not recommended for an ordinary tube-eel system. Choose it for the heaviest natural-bait traces and short leaders ahead of large halibut jigs.

Should I tie or crimp this diameter?

For the heavy-duty use described here, we recommend crimped end connections with a suitable sleeve and tool. Bulky conventional knots forced into small eyes are not recommended.

Is the leader also a stinger?

No. The leader connects the main line to the lure; the stinger carries hooks along the soft body and needs its own suitable fittings.

Does 100 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.
