I have started using the titanium wire (toothproof, boa etc.) I use 40 or 50# crimped with #0 or #1 afw sleeves and I have found that if crimped properly (I use afw's micro crimper) that the connection rarely fails as compared to any knots and looks much cleaner.

I use those tiny #8 spro power swivelsfor connectionsand end up with what I beleive to be the least visibleand most durable leader when fishing where the toothy critters roam.

Ikeep a few 30" leaders on the boat and have caught manyspanish, blues and kingson these and they show no signs ofwear or damage like other wires that may fray or kink;so over time they have proven to be more economical.

Enjoy!
