[size=10pt]Snelled King Leader:

Things you need:
1. Sevenstrand uncoated wire preferably in 27 or 60 pound. 40 pound is frowned upon in this area for various reasons. Do not use coated wire under any circumstances!

2. Eagle Claw or VMC treble hooks in sizes 6, 4, 2, 1, or 1/0. The smaller the number, the bigger the hook. The size of the baits will dictate what hook size you choose. Generally speaking, a size 4 is good for cigar minnows of all sizes and small hardtails. Size 1 would be for bigger hardtails and big menhaden. Size 6 would be for Spanish fishing with LY's or finger mullett.

3. 30 - 50 pound rated swivels in black color as small as size as you can find. Doesn't matter what brand. Tsunami and Bill Fisher are 2 brands that I have used.
4. A good pair of wire cutters. I only use the best and that is Klein brand electricians pliers. Average price is around 30 dollars. They have absolutely nothing to do with fishing but as an ex electrician myself, I know there is nothing in the fishing industry that will match up to these.

Make the leader:
1. Cut a piece of Sevenstrand about 18 to 24 inches long. Some people like long leaders, some like short. Too long you can't cast, too short you get clipped easier. Find your medium.
2. With the wire in one hand and the treble hook in the other - run one piece of the wire through the eye of the treble hook on the flat shank side. Only run it out to the bends in the hook.
3. Hold one piece of the wire in place and with the other hand start making ten wraps around the shank of the hook making sure the wraps are not on top of each other.
4. After your wraps are done take the other end of the wire and come back through the eye of the hook, and pull it tight.
5. On the free end of the wire tie an overhand granny knot to your swivel. Cut the tag end off as close as possible.
6. Wrap the leader around 2 fingers, pull it off, secure the ends, and store it away.[/size]
