I thought the point here was a bite leader for GTs which inhale, not for Macks, Barracuda etc?
Nope, there is no escape for Brandon in that regard.
You forgot wahoo.
Interesting picture Mark, but I would still uni it to a swivel and not directly to the lure. Tying a uni with thick kevlar really is no fun!
. True, but I am a bit of a masochist when it comes to knots. I recently tied a near perfect 4 turn uni in 300 lb fluoro which the other guys on the boat said was impossible
. The principle would be the same if the threaded kevlar was tied to Swivel with a split ring to the lure.
Brandon, Luke... it was really Luke's comment about Fukui-san's set up that just got me thinking here. Not saying this is smart nor that it will work, just some ideas.
Having thought about kevlar bite leaders before, I was put off by the visibility point that you make. On hearing Chris's comments, then that Kasey has used them successfully and obviously Fukui-san does, I am re-thinking
.
