Black Magic Wind On Leader Tough Trace

A proven wind-on leader built for Aussie offshore anglers chasing marlin, tuna and kingfish when you need maximum abrasion resistance and total confidence at the connection.

The Black Magic Wind On Leader is a serious offshore upgrade for anglers who want a cleaner, safer, more controlled leader system, especially when fishing without a swivel. Built using Black Magic’s proven Tough Trace monofilament, it delivers the abrasion resistance needed for brutal battles around bills, tails, gill plates and boat-side chaos.

What sets this leader apart is the connection. Black Magic’s Wicked Connection has been tested hard in the lab and proven on the water across Australia and New Zealand, giving you a reliable join between your mainline (braid or mono) and your leader when it matters most.

Wind the leader onto the reel and maintain pressure through the fight for better boat-side control and reduced risk compared to loose leader management on deck. When the fish digs deep or surges away, the leader and line run smoothly back off the reel with ease.

If you’re chasing records, note that this leader length is supplied over IGFA regulation length and should be trimmed down to meet record requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a wind-on leader used for in game fishing?
A: A wind-on leader allows you to wind the leader onto the reel during the fight, giving you far more control boat-side and reducing the risk of loose leader on deck when a fish is close.

Q: Can I use the Black Magic Wind On Leader with braid?
A: Yes. It’s designed to connect reliably to both braid and monofilament mainline, giving you flexibility across different offshore setups.

Q: Do I need to use a swivel with this leader?
A: No. This leader is ideal for anglers not using a swivel, offering a cleaner, more streamlined connection for game fishing applications.

Q: Is this wind-on leader IGFA legal for record fishing?
A: It’s supplied longer than IGFA regulation length, so if you’re chasing national or international records you’ll need to trim it down to the correct legal length before fishing.
