Gardner Vigilante 45lb

For when you absolutely need the toughest snag leader and hooklink material available. Vigilante is made with 100% Dyneema fibres, and has been developed to offer exceptional abrasion resistance with a high linear strength to diameter, excellent knot strength and zero stretch. This unique product combines state of the art Dyneema braiding techniques with a special ‘anti friction’ coating that actually helps the braid slide over underwater obstacles – making Vigilante the ultimate snag leader for fishing for the hard battling specimens both here in the UK and on the challenging European lakes and rivers.

Vigilante is a lot more versatile than simply being a great snag leader

It can even be used in a similar way to conventional skinned hooklinks, as the waxy finish can be removed with your fingernail to create suppler section near the hook – yet the overall lower diameter compared to skinned hooklinks offers a much subtler presentation. We recommend a smear of Critical Mass just to ensure it sinks flush to the lake bed.
