Preferred leader material
Mark Gwynne:
If you go back and read the thread again some interesting comments are coming through but more interesting is Alan's replies.
While he said some positive things about the new Saltiga msot people focused on the negative (as you do) but in his replies he really goes into bat for the Saltiga. He's sayiing similar things to the original post but when read on their own you can see his point a lot more.
It's the smoothest reel going around, smoother than the stella which is a pretty big statement and so on. The drag is clearly outstanding.
I do agree with his harsh approach though as for some of the faults it is almost unforgiveable in a flagship reel. Almost surprising these faults made it to production.
Tony Fowler:
Hi all
I'm using 170lb YGK galis for single strand leaders with an FG knot.
But was think of trying some 130lb YGK galis flourocarbon.
What are people thoughts.
Mark Harris:
Tony, I have always been very wary of tying any friction knot to fluorocarbon. I know that some others feel comfortable with it though. Fluoro is just so hard and smooth I struggle to rationalise how a friction knot works with such a material!
Alex Jordan:
Either Fisherman Stealth is various BS for twisties and something I have experimented with this year;
200lb single strand glueless served wind-ons with JB HC ... no knot system ...
worked a treat and although cannot comment on long term use it did the business - only downside is each leader is around $20 ...
http://streamlineleaders.com - they made some 200lb up for me on request ...
Luke Wyrsta:
I've used glueless wind-ons quite a few years ago. They work really good but I have laregly moved away from hollowcore braided lines.
I change my temperament all the time
