The Dinsmores Wire Trace is designed to provide a robust connection between your main line and lure or bait, offering protection against the sharp teeth of predatory fish. These traces are commonly used when targeting species such as pike, zander, and perch, and are also suitable for sea fishing environments. Each trace typically features a swivel at one end for easy attachment to your mainline, and a snap link (or snap lock) at the other for quickly changing lures or rigs. While the specific breaking strain for a single Dinsmores Wire Trace x1 may vary, common options include 9kg (20lb) breaking strain. For pike fishing, anglers often choose breaking strains of 28lb or higher, with 30-40lb being common for added security. Dinsmores wire traces are constructed from multi-strand wire, often available in 7-strand or more supple 49-strand versions, to offer varying degrees of flexibility and kink resistance. Many modern wire traces also incorporate a plastic coating, which provides a protective layer and enhances abrasion resistance during use. Common lengths for Dinsmores wire traces include: - 15cm - 23cm - 30cm
