Malin-49 7x7 Stainless Steel Cable – 480 lb | 30 ft | Pocket Pack

When only the absolute maximum will do, reach for the Malin-49 7x7 Stainless Steel Cable 480 lb. Built for the most demanding big-game scenarios offshore, this heavy-duty cable combines the flexibility of a 49-strand 7x7 construction with a crushing 480 lb test — enough backbone to stop any fish that swims. Whether you’re targeting giant sharks, monster wahoo, or the largest billfish on the water, this cable delivers the strength and suppleness that single-strand hard wire simply can’t match.

Item C480-30 is a 30 ft Pocket Pack — compact, resealable, and purpose-built for serious anglers who want tournament-grade cable ready to go at a moment’s notice. Toss it in your tackle bag, boat storage, or shirt pocket and rig with confidence.

Why 7x7 Cable vs. Hard Wire?

• Flexibility: 7x7 construction is far more supple than single-strand hard wire — baits swim more naturally and rigs are easier to work with
• Kink Resistance: Multi-strand construction resists kinking and deformation, even under extreme pressure
• Versatility: Ideal for rigging natural baits, casting to sharks, and constructing custom leaders where lure action matters
• Strength: 480 lb test handles the absolute biggest game offshore with total confidence
