American Fishing Wire Copper Rigging Wire
American Fishing Wire Copper Rigging Wire is a staple among serious offshore anglers for one clear reason—it gets the job done when rigging natural baits for toothy predators and pelagic giants. Made from high-quality copper, this rigging wire provides the strength and flexibility needed to securely tie up baits for trolling or drifting applications, giving you the confidence to present your offerings cleanly and effectively even at high speeds or in heavy current.
Flexible Yet Tough Construction
What sets this wire apart is its unique combination of malleability and durability. The copper material is easy to work with, allowing anglers to form tight, secure wraps without kinks or snaps during the rigging process. Unlike stiffer alternatives, this wire bends smoothly around baits and hooks without losing integrity, which helps keep your bait presentation clean and natural—something that can make a big difference when targeting finicky predators like tuna, kingfish, or wahoo.
Corrosion Resistance for Saltwater Reliability
Copper is naturally resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for repeated exposure to saltwater conditions. Whether you're rigging ballyhoo for offshore trolling or creating wire connections for live bait rigs, this wire holds up against the elements without degrading. The reliability of AFW’s copper wire ensures that once your bait hits the water, it stays intact and swimming true—even after multiple strikes or long deployments.
