I've been using about 130 lb. straight wire leader and noticed it kinks alot. I actually had something chomp through it as well. Don't know how much bigger i want to go. Is there anyway to tie sevenstrand? I'm guessing the haywire twist won't work. Or do i need to use crimps? And about how much do the cost? Would it be less hassle to stay with straight leader? Thanks!

You can tie knots in sevenstrand. One is called a 'twist and loop' knot which is really a bowline.

This forms a loop which can be tied to lines using a conventional knot.

I've used it with no problems but will use crimp when making leaders at home. C2
