Hi Jon,
I'm quite unfamiliar with twisted leader, just got some questions.
Do you always have a bite leader when using twisted leader?
What knots do you tie?
If you want 10lb leader, do you twist 5lb mono/fluoro?
I don't bother using friction knot when dealing with light line , I use twisted leader for such task .
Jon .
Hi Jason ,
Twisted leader is covered n great depth in this this forum , just use search function to look for it . As for bite leader , I only use it when targetting fish with small teeth that can gnaw your jeader such as toman in freshwater and YFT in saltwater . When dealing with toothy critters such as narrowbarred mackerel or wahoo , etc. , nothing less than wire will be good enough .
I am not that particular with the rating the leader , as long as it flows freely thru the guides , I use the thickest possible and when I fish PE3 , it's quite often I use #7 size ( approx 28 lbs. ) which I have plenty of and it means the total breaking strain is close to 60 lbs , if multiplying it by a factor of 2 making it such .
