Line & Leader
Short wire leader
The simple answer when teeth keep ending your day.
Spanish mackerel guidance explicitly says to shorten the problem: a light wire section, fast metal, and repeated leader checks.
Why use it?

When to use it
Use it for Catch bait first, Fast surface predators when the rig calls for it.
Size, weight, or test
Keep it short and light enough for the toothy target; heavy wire can reduce bites in clear water.
Good starting point
Start with the recommended range and re-tie whenever abrasion appears.
Fine-tune the setup
Adjust diameter, material, knot, and length for clarity, structure, current, and target.
