400lb flexible trace wire.
 

Anybody know where I can get hold of 400lb trace wire in the UK?.

I have been given a sample shark trace to copy and the wire(400lb) is some
of the most flexible that I have ever seen. It appears to be stainless steel
and is not nylon covered.

Off Sharking at the end of September and need to make up some traces,

400lb flexible trace wire.
 

The stuff they use for rigging on sailing boats has to be a good bet......

Try Advanta Tackle, down at Verwood, they stock the wire, crimps and the
proper crimping pliers, as well as a superb range of very suitable hooks.

They will be at Southampton Boat Show, as well.

Thanks for the suggestions. The boat skipper has go in touch and said the
wire coame from Veals so we will be getting in touch with them. I am also

impressive range of Game fishing rods (130lb class) as well as the full
range of International multipliers even the Monster ones at very impressive
prices biggest was £500 agains over £1000 list - Dear Santa....... - only
had wire to 250 lb though but did have hooks to 16/0 and beyond.....

You don't need anything over 80lb class for UK waters, 50lb is more sporting
but a 2 speed lever drag is almost mandatory.
