Default wire trace

i was thinking of taking my fly rod to lanzarote for a cast or two .they tell me that there are good sized barracuda going about ,the only problem is there teeth, where do you buy and what kind of wire trace do you attach when you are fly fishing so that you dont knock the balance out of your line

Tyger wire is the way to go.

There are some nice fish over there.

I hope you hook up

Yes but only spinning or with coarse gear.

I did a fair amount of snorkeling and saw some nice size barracuda.

Also the normal sea bream mullet etc.

I also saw a few big cuttlefish which was a great sight.

Beat me to it. I agree with Tyger wire, very handy being nylon coated so you can tie knots in it much more easily.

Titanium wire is the only way to travel.
