Its ok, Kasey only fishes freshwater these days *giggle*


--- Quote ---I am not sure what you mean by solid braid for light jigging? PE cord maybe?  When I light jig, I still use doubled kevlar looped through the solid ring, just in a much smaller size.

As I said in the first post, there are no definitive correct answers to any of this, just opinions :) .

I'm not really sure what it was, its the only thing Ive found that will go thru the small damn eyes on the shout light jiggers. Will try and work it out.

Speaking of opinion, here is some more, Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4 & Part 5

I think thats where the octopus skirt things come in handy, Shout! also has a product for the same job, looks like a sticker to place on the shank?

Lazaros Tsenesidis:
Jamie that is  a work of art i can say it look really nice.
Whats the name of that tool??
I wonder if i can find this is Korea, mostly i wonder how am i going to ask for it xixixi

Mark Harris:
It's a splicing needle.  Lovely work by that fella I must say.

Splicing gives you a great feeling of satisfaction when you make a good job of it. But it's fiddly and can take ages to get right. Time might be better spent on other things :).

Jamie Moir:
Here is one; YGK Etuki Needle for assist cord. I'm sure the sponsors would have something similar, although perhaps not on their websites.

You can make some very spiffy looking assist hooks, but seeinga s fish just eat them, I went back to knots ;)

Solid assist cord ... closest I can see on the usual sites is zylon x, but thats not the brand I'm thinking of.
