Suitable for leaders, snells, and dropper rigs (sabiki); line size over 0.45mm recommended for main line use

Option 1: Ghost Tooth Iseni hooks (#6-#15) with wire diameters 0.3mm, 0.35mm, 0.38mm, 0.45mm (hand-snelled)
Option 2: Tube Eye Iseni hooks with single copper crimp sleeves (aluminum sleeves can also be used) with wire diameters 0.45mm, 0.5mm, 0.6mm
Note: Wire sizes 0.3mm to 0.6mm can be rigged using either manual snelling or copper crimp sleeves depending on personal technique

Made of wire material, stiffer than nylon, highly bite-resistant and abrasion-resistant.
Suitable for snells/leaders, lure leaders, rock fishing, saltwater fishing, and targeting sharp-toothed predatory fish; a few users use it in freshwater.
For hand-snelling hooks, do not pull too tight at first; tighten after the end line goes up to avoid line bending. For larger sizes or simpler rigging, single copper crimp sleeves are recommended.
When using as main line for surf casting/sea rods, sizes above 0.38mm are recommended for experienced anglers to prevent backlash. For sharp-toothed target fish like pomfret, line diameter above 0.38mm is advised.

Coated outer diameter: 0.5 mm
Structure: 1x7 strand construction
Breaking strength: 9 kg (19.8 lb / 18 jin)
Equivalent to standard mono fishing line #8; suitable for snells, tying hooks, sabiki rigs, and stringing beads

Steel wire fishing line features moderate flexibility, higher stiffness than nylon due to its internal steel wire construction, suitable as leader/snell line for saltwater, rock fishing, sharp-toothed predatory fish, or DIY rigs.
Tying instructions: Wrap loosely around the hook shank first and tighten only after pulling the tag end through to prevent line bending. For thinner wire, hand-tying or single copper crimps can be used; for thicker wire, single copper crimp sleeves are recommended.
Can be used as sabiki rig main line or leader line. Not recommended for conventional fishing reel spool main line due to stiffness; for reel spools, use 49-strand steel wire line instead.
