Fox Rage Predator 49 Strand Steel Wire – 18 kg is a predator fishing trace material suited for targeting fish with sharp teeth such as pike and zander. It is constructed from 49 tightly wound strands of steel, which provides a good balance of strength and flexibility. The 18 kg rating (roughly 40 lb) means it can handle significant force without breaking, making it suitable for larger predator species or when fishing in weedy, snaggy, or rough underwater conditions.

The multi‑strand design gives the wire more suppleness compared with single‑strand wire, helping rigs sit more naturally in the water and reducing the chance of stiffness affecting bait presentation. This flexibility also makes it easier to feed through guides and tie securely to connectors, swivels, or crimps. The steel construction ensures excellent abrasion resistance, which protects against sharp teeth and abrasive structures like rocks or submerged wood.

Anglers use this type of wire trace as part of their terminal tackle, often attaching a leader of this wire between the main line and hook, swivel, or lure. The higher strength rating is especially useful when fishing larger baits, strong currents, or when targeting big predators that make powerful runs. Fox Rage predator wire is designed to withstand repeated use and exposure to water without corroding easily, helping maintain confidence in your predator rigs session after session.
