I have been using this kind of wire now for more than ten years now mainly for lure traces. when I first encountered this material it was as a big game leader called BOA. It is not cheap at £15 for fifeteen feet but it is almost indestructable. This brand that I have been using for about four years is well worh a look at on Aquateko.com it will explain the benifits of this material far better than I can. It can be twisted with some extra effort and leaving a long tail that can be doubled back to the swival and covered with a piece of shrink tube .
