Safety Leaders™ are designed to protect against abrasions from sharp snags and rough catfish teeth, while still allowing you to force a breakoff if you find yourself hung up.
- Safety Leaders™ are 12 feet long. One end is thick, abrasion-resistant line for tying to your hook. The other end connects to your main line.
- When your hook catches an unfortunate snag, you can force a breakoff without losing the rest of your rig
- 5 Leaders per pack
- HOW TO USE IT: Trim evenly from each end to customize your leader length as short as 12 inches
- 80lb Protection on one end, 20lb Safety on the other
Top Question: Should I use stronger MAIN line or LEADER line?
Here's why you might choose to have your catfishing main line be stronger than your catfish leader: If you get hung up, you can break off just your leader and hopefully not lose your lead, or piles of your main line.
Here's why you might choose to have your catfishing leader line be stronger than your catfish main line: Catfish have rough teeth patches on their lips that can nick or cut your leader, costing you a big fish!
Good News: You can have the best of both worlds!
Safety Leaders™ from Catfish Sumo protect the area around your hook, while still allowing you to force a leader breakoff WITHOUT losing the rest of your rig.

Hi, I'm Daniel. My team and I are here to help you catch bigger catfish.
Are you ready to finally beat your PB (personal best) catfish??
Catching catfish successfully comes down to three things. We call it The Three Rights Framework, and here it is:
1) The Right Spot
2) The Right Rig
3) The Right Rig
Now a little more goes into each of these, but as you practice improving each of these Three Rights, you can be SURE that you'll be catching more and BIGGER catfish.
Based in Chattanooga, TN, we have immediate access to the Tennessee River, home to some of the country's largest catfish. We're constantly testing rigs and equipment to gather information that's useful to you.
You can be sure that anything in our store has been tested and improved to help you be as successful as possible.
We're also committed to our Core Values:
Quality: We sell gear that is good, and does something to help you catch better catfish. It's priced appropriately, easy to get, and professionally built.
Honesty: You won't ever be disappointingly surprised when you do business with us. You'll get what you ordered, when you expect it (or sooner), and you'll be delighted with what you got.
Guide: We're a leader in the catfishing industry, paving the way with innovative products, and helpful information that you can use to take action and catch bigger catfish!
If there's ever any way we can help you, please reach us.
Best regards,

United StatesAwesome leaders
Safety leaders are awesome. Love using them.
United StatesNew leader lines
Luv them best I've ever used .
United StatesI am disabled
So convenient and work perfectly so nothing but my errors every once in a while lol
United StatesSafety leaders
Very nice leader line and very easy to use I like how you can vary the light end to what weight you like. I have yet to snag it so I cannot say if it breaks in the right spot. But I’m sure it should work like it’s designed too. I do reccomend this product
United StatesSafety Leaders
Once I figure out how I wanted to use them I made sure I had 80lb test at the hook and 20lb. Test at the loop. Thanks again.
