| Re: Shockleader – Fishing Line Part 2 I use a 6 turn Albright knot...... this gives a knot width no greater than 1.2mm, it is tricky knot to master, but is very strong. __________________ I dont catch em I feed em |

| Re: Shockleader – Fishing Line Part 2 Ive had some great advise about shock leaders. Thanks to all. Have now bought tapered ones. They are 43ft/13m long how much of this do i need? my rod is 12ft so is it twice rod lenght plus 5/6 turns? (which would be about 30ft odd) if so do i trim line from the heavy end or the weaker end?!? bearing in mind i have a multiplier with level wind and knot sizes are an issue. cheers  |

| Re: Shockleader – Fishing Line Part 2 good thread richard, these questions gets asked so many times. with tapered leaders often the tapered end gets real fine, when joining to main line trim back to approx diameter of your main line . if you 're useing 20lb main and the leader tapers from 60lb-15lb joining directly to the end is gonna give a weak point. __________________ 2007, sessions..27 total blanks ..9( wot a comeback though), species....21 2008, sessions..12,total blanks..1, species,..10 http://ukfishingforums.darkbb.com/index.htm |
