I will say this my favorite wire to use in Tampa Bay is the AFW Nylon Coated wire. It comes in different weight from 10lb. up to 210lb. The AFW Tooth Proof is alittle to stiff for my choice. Hope this helps, have a great fishing day. **Q: How thick is 140lb wire? And what size crimps should I use for the 140lb wire?** A: what I need in the wire is .024 or .025 wire can you help me find the wire or do you have some there and how much is it **Q: using this with hot for deep drop jigs , is this wire coated ?** A: No, this wire is not coated. One type is stainless steel. **Q: What is diameter of 86 lb wire?** A: It should be on the package or the description. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ good product *by B***L on September 7, 2025* It works great for making the weedless hooks I'm making ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly as described, great wire *by S***6 on June 8, 2025* Exactly as described. The wire was easy to work with yet strong enough to get in a huge 11ft bull shark I hooked up with, I fought it for quite awhile and the wire held the entire time. Very happy for that experience and I dont know what I could do to test it anymore than that. Would recommend to anyone looking to battle some serious toothy critters. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality is there *by C***P on August 3, 2025* Quality as usual ## Frequently Bought Together - AFW Tooth Proof Stainless Steel Single Strand Hard Leader Wire - Bright and Camo for Shark, Barracuda, King Mackerel, Wahoo, Snook Bite Protection for Toothy Critters, Rigging Baits and Lures - American Fishing Wire Mighty Mini Crane Swivels - Fishing Line Essential, Compact Fishing Tackle, Saltwater Swivels, Stainless Steel Swivel, Holding Power up to 511lb, Gunmetal Black - Reaction Tackle Braided Fishing Line - Pro Grade Power Performance for Saltwater or Freshwater Fish - Colored Fishing Line Braid for Extra Visibility --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/19849960-afw-tooth-proof-stainless-steel-single-strand-hard-leader-wire](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/19849960-afw-tooth-proof-stainless-steel-single-strand-hard-leader-wire) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
