Handmade Wind Ons by Anglers Who Fish Them
R&R Tackle builds these wind on leaders the way they rig their own rods. The Dacron loop is hand-spliced, not glued or heat-shrunk, for a secure connection that passes through guides cleanly. The 25-foot mono section gives you enough leader for serious offshore work without the bulk of conventional long leaders.
At $10.99 to $14.99, these are priced well below many competitor wind ons. The quality matches or exceeds higher-priced options because R&R's reputation depends on it. Four test weights handle everything from light tuna jigging to heavy trolling.

Hand-Spliced Dacron Loop
The Dacron loop is spliced by hand for a slim, secure connection. It passes through rod guides smoothly without catching, which is the entire point of a wind on leader system.
25-Foot Length
Long enough for proper bait presentation and IGFA compliance. Short enough to wind entirely onto your reel without excessive bulk. A practical length for most offshore applications.
Made in the USA
R&R Tackle builds these domestically using quality monofilament. Each leader is inspected before packaging. You are buying from a company run by anglers, not a factory.
How to Rig an R&R Wind On Leader
- Create a loop in your main line braid or mono
- Connect the Dacron loop to your main line with a loop-to-loop
- Reel the leader onto your spool to verify smooth guide passage
- Tie or crimp your hook or snap to the terminal end of the mono
- Test by pulling firmly at the connection before fishing

What test weight for tuna? +
80-100 lb for yellowfin and blackfin. 150 lb for larger tuna or when wahoo are in the area. Our tuna guide has detailed leader recommendations.
How do I connect this to my main line? +
Create a loop in your hollow core braid or tie a loop knot in your mono. Connect loop-to-loop with the Dacron loop. Fast and strong. Our leader FAQ covers connection methods.
Is 25 feet long enough? +
For most offshore trolling and live bait applications, 25 feet is standard. For swordfishing, you need much longer leaders like the Diamond Swordfish Wind On (150 ft).
Why use a wind on instead of a snap swivel? +
Wind ons pass through guides smoothly, so you can reel the fish to the rod tip. Snap swivels stop at the rod tip and force you to hand-wrap. Wind ons are safer and more efficient. See our trolling guide.
How does this compare to Diamond wind on leaders? +
R&R uses Dacron loop spliced by hand. Diamond wind ons use Dyneema loops and come in more test weight options including fluorocarbon. Both are quality products. Browse our leader collection.
How many should I bring on a trip? +
At least 2-3 per rod you plan to fish. Leaders take abuse and get replaced during the day. At this price, having spares is easy. Stock up from our leader collection.
