Diamond Swordfish Wind On Leader
Diamond Swordfish Wind On Leaders are purpose-built for the demands of daytime and nighttime swordfishing. The 150-foot length gives you the leader material needed for deep drops, and the Dyneema loop connection attaches to your main line with a simple loop-to-loop. Three test weights cover everything from light swordfish rigs to heavy-duty setups.

- 150, 250, and 300 lb test options
- Made in the USA
The Right Leader for Deep-Water Swordfish
Swordfishing puts extreme demands on leader material. You are fishing in 1,000+ feet of water, targeting a fish with a bill that can cut leader, and fighting for extended periods. Diamond Swordfish Wind Ons are built for exactly these conditions.
The 150-foot length means your entire leader winds onto the reel cleanly, eliminating the need for a long top-shot or awkward leader-to-line connections at the rod tip. The Dyneema loop is stronger than the mono itself, so the connection point is never the weak link. Three test weights let you match your rig to conditions and target size.

150-Foot Length
Swordfishing requires long leaders to keep the bait well below the connection hardware. 150 feet is the standard for daytime drops in 1,000-1,800 feet. The entire leader winds onto your reel for a clean fight.
Dyneema Loop Connection
The Dyneema loop attaches to your main line with a loop-to-loop connection. No knots to fail under pressure. Dyneema is stronger than steel by weight, so this is the most reliable point in your rig.
Three Test Options
150 lb clear for lighter rigs and smaller swords. 250 lb clear for the standard daytime setup. 300 lb smoke blue for night swordfishing and targeting large fish over 200 lbs.
How to Rig a Diamond Swordfish Wind On Leader
- Connect the Dyneema loop to your main line using a loop-to-loop connection
- Wind the leader onto your reel until the mono section is tight
- Attach your swordfish rig to the terminal end of the leader
- Add your bait, weight, and LED light to complete the rig
- Deploy to your target depth and set in the rod holder

Which weight for daytime swordfishing? +
250 lb clear is the most popular for daytime drops. Use 150 lb for a lighter presentation and 300 lb for targeting large swords. Our swordfish guide covers rig setup.
Why 150 feet? +
Long leaders keep hardware and connections far from the bait during deep drops. The full 150 feet winds onto the reel, giving you a clean connection through the rod guides during the fight. See our swordfish guide.
How does the Dyneema loop connection work? +
You create a loop in your main line and connect it to the Dyneema loop with a simple loop-to-loop. No knots, no crimps at the connection. Fast to rig and extremely strong. Our crimping guide covers terminal connections.
Can I use this for other deep drop species? +
The 150 lb version works for tilefish and other deep drop targets. The heavier weights are overkill for most deep drop species but will handle anything you hook. See our deep drop guide.
What is the difference between clear and smoke blue? +
Clear (150 lb, 250 lb) is less visible in daylight conditions. Smoke blue (300 lb) works well for nighttime swordfishing where visibility matters less and strength is the priority. Browse our leader collection.
How do I store wind on leaders? +
Spool them loosely in a cool, dark place. Avoid kinking. UV exposure degrades monofilament over time, so keep them out of direct sunlight. Replace after heavy use or visible abrasion. See our leader FAQ.
