LeadSlinger’s Latex Cotton Pro is a high-performance bait thread designed for serious anglers who want maximum bait security and presentation. Commonly used in South Africa and now available in the U.S., this latex cotton is ideal for wrapping bait onto your hook when fishing for large predatory species or even smaller table fare.
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, LeadSlinger’s Latex Cotton Pro is a must-have in every saltwater angler’s tackle bag.

A must-have 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 head baits for sharks.
 
When distance casting any sized baited rig, your gear and especially your baits are put through a tremendous amount of stress by the forces which are needed and applied when casting over great distances, forces which in many times will result in your bait stripping off your hooks during the cast or upon impact with the water.

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 hook up ratios.
