I dont have quicktime to play it, but it may help if you cant work out the written details.....
MK-Lee:
thank you very much!
I know what is it now ;D
But an other question pop-out from my head.
If use twisted leader for casting big lure, will it too much fiction?
because I use about 3-4m long leader for casting big lure. Too short will be useless, too long will cause fiction and resistance of wind.
Does it used for double leader? 300lb+150lb+130lb PE ?

I use nothing but the PR for jigging now, but I heard something about the knot being too long or unravelling or something when used for popping. Cant remember exactly. Sounded somewhat like an old wives tail but can any of the gurus comment?
Cheers

I use it all the time for Jigging as well ben but it didnt like going through the guides when I tried it on my spinning reels for poppers. Prob easier to do a bimini :-\
Ben Keller:
Hmmmmm, thanks for that Mike. I guess it will have a bit more memory with the leader running through it. Stick to the twisty then, not that that is a bad thing ;)
