Cortland - C-16 Wind-On Leader

The Cortland C-16 Wind-On Leader Material is a premium 16-carrier hollow-core braid designed for constructing ultra-reliable wind-on leaders and seamless top shots. Engineered from tightly woven gel-spun polyethylene fibres, this material provides a smooth and incredibly strong spliceable platform. It is the ultimate choice for New Zealand anglers customising their offshore rigging to target aggressive pelagics like Kingfish, Tuna, and Marlin, ensuring flawless loop-to-loop connections and maximum strength under heavy drag pressure.
