Luke, ta for your suggestions. We were using a twisted leader for both poppers and stickbaits.......do you think a twisted leader becomes too visible for underwater presentations? If so, do you change your entire leader system every time you switch from a popper to a stickbait, or do you fish multiple rods in any given session to allow both leader systems?
Thanks
Angus

Hi Angus,
I do errrr when using twisted leaders for stickbaits. However, there will be times when it simply doesn't matter - but when it does, and the fish are fussy/timid - I will stick with the single strand leader system. And yes, I have a multitude of rods rigged for specific lures and presentations :)
Dave Foyle:
Hi Angus,
I've been running a 200lb twisty's double uni'd to a 300lb bite leader for my last few trips for stickbaits and poppers - these have been trips where the GT's seemed to be on fire so maybe I haven't come across GT's in a more difficult mood yet ;D
Tight lines Dave
Stephen Polzin:
Nice one Angus, great pics. What do you think of the Medalist gloves?
Andre van Wyk:
Absolutely fantastic stuff Angus... incredible fish and fishing, and on your own home made lures is just magic mate, a HUGE congratulations my friend, I cannot even imagine how great it must feel!!
Angus Hulme:
Dave, yeah, when the fish (& not just GT fishing) are a bit more shut down is when you learn more about what works and what doesn't, hey? Not just leaders, but lure selection, colours, etc.
Ta Steve, yeah, more than happy with the gloves mate....as you know, I wasn't after anything fancy, just something cheap that did the job. And they were fine.
Thanks Andre, pretty good feeling, I must admit. Your encouragement has been much appreciated since you first saw the lures, so cheers mate!
