LeadSlinger’s Latex Cotton Pro—The Ultimate Bait Thread for Pier & Surf Anglers
Latex Cotton Pro is a professional-grade bait thread trusted by surf and pier anglers worldwide for securing bait without knots. Originally developed in South Africa by experienced anglers, it is designed to keep bait firmly in place during powerful casts while maintaining a natural presentation in the water.
Whether you're targeting sharks, big drum, or pompano from the beach, this bait cotton holds cut bait, soft baits, and chunk baits in place during long casts and powerful strikes. It’s especially useful in surf fishing, where current and casting force can loosen poorly tied baits.
The non-stick, stretchy latex thread doesn’t cut into bait and requires no knots—just wrap and go. It enhances scent dispersion while keeping your hook point exposed for better hookups.
Available in convenient spools and made with premium quality,
Latex Cotton Pro, available in 400 & 500 m spools.
Now available in Thin, Medium, Universal, Thick, and Extra Thick, Latex Cotton Pro allows you to perfectly match your bait thread to your target species, bait size, and casting style.
LeadSlinger’s Latex Cotton Pro is a must-have in every saltwater angler’s tackle bag for the perfect bait presentation, especially for those anglers like us that love distance fishing!
Excellent for bait wrapping, anything from the delicate small shrimp baits to the heavier, bulkier, oversized bonito head baits for sharks.
💡 Pro Tip:
If you only want to carry one bait thread, choose Universal.
If you’re targeting sharks or throwing heavy baits on hard casts, Extra Thick offers maximum holding power with minimal stretch failure.
When distance casting any sized baited rig, your gear and especially your baits are put through a tremendous amount of stress by the forces that are needed and applied when casting over great distances, forces that many times will result in your bait stripping off your hooks during the cast or upon impact with the water.
- Environmentally friendly.
- Comes in a clear spool container with three openings for you to dispense it from.
- A small Velcro strip that allows you to keep it ready for use without creating a mess.
We strongly suggest its use for the following personal reasons!
A great way to combine different baits together into your rig of choice, which can and will attract more fish.
It allows your bait to stay on your hook for longer periods of time, especially true when there are plenty of pickers around your fishing area.
If used properly, it will allow you to present the business end of your hook exposed while giving you much better bite-to-hookup ratios.
