Attatching popper to leader

(1/3) > >>

David Murphy:
Could I get some advice on the best way to attatch poppers to leader.

Mark Harris:
Would be good to know what leader you are using David....  Just simple braided line -> shock leader -> popper set up? Or twisted leader? Or wind-on leader?

If the former, the simplest way of rigging the terminal end is leader -> swivel -> split ring -> popper. Spend some money on the swivels and split rings as there can be nothing worse than your set up failing because of weakness in those elements.
 
Given the excellent nature of the content of this forum there must be an existing thread somewhere to refer you to but I can't find it!

Colin P:
I tend to go leader>solid ring>split ring>popper - but I often use twisted leaders with an integral solid ring.

David Murphy:
I'll be using braid to 10ft leader.  Do you crimp the swivel to the leader?

David Murphy:
also what size split ring should I use and what would you consider to be the best swivels and split rings
