| Re: help shock leaders Dont use them tapered shockleaders on a spool - rubbish in my book. Used to use them many years ago and although they can make a nice small knot they have little strength even with a good knot. I started using grey greased weasel and have never changed from this. Thats my 2 penny worth.  |

| Re: help shock leaders Agree with that - Greased weasel is best although I use clear .... Mustad Shockleader is a good alternative .... __________________ SUPPORT THE RNLI - click : www.rnli.org.uk ... every little helps ! PLEASE REMEMBER & GIVE A LITTLE .... http://www.poppy.org.uk/ |

 Re: help shock leaders I like the Orange Greased Weasel. Colours a matter of personal preference & whatever feels right. The important thing is to use a gurt big dollop of spit when tightening the knot so it beds down correctly.  |

| Re: help shock leaders Use 10lb breaking strain to 1oz of lead & 10lb for luck - usual is 60lb shock leader .... does not matter the strength of the mainline. 15lb is usual - increase to maybe 25lb for rough ground. Don't forget the leader also acts as a rubbing leader and is much more resistant than the mainline when on the bottom - sand & rocks etc so not just for casting ... Glad the albright is working for you ! __________________ SUPPORT THE RNLI - click : www.rnli.org.uk ... every little helps ! PLEASE REMEMBER & GIVE A LITTLE .... http://www.poppy.org.uk/ |
