The wires used to design surfcasting leaders

Surfcasting, like lure fishing, requires the design of leaders. These are used to present bait as discreetly as possible and in different positions.

Depending on the bait you choose, your leader will need to be adapted to make your rig as effective as possible.

You'll find leaders made from fluorocarbon or nylon. Both filaments have their uses. Nylon, which is more elastic than fluorocarbon, is often used when fishing for small fish to limit the number of stalls by absorbing their jumps. In this category you will find fluorocarbon or nylon spools in the various diameters needed to make leaders.

Accessories for making surfcasting leaders

Unlike leaders designed for lure fishing, those for surfcasting can be more complex. To optimise the attractiveness of the bait, some anglers add accessories such as coloured beads to give the predator a visual cue. This process is reminiscent of the principle of target points on lures, enabling predators to target their attacks.

These beads also hide and protect the knots that make up the leader. You'll also need swivels to make jigs. These prevent your leader from twisting.
