If the fish are feeding aggressively, I don't think it matters at all but if they happen to be shy, then I personally would think the one foot of mono isn't long enough and that you should think of perhaps a three foot length.

That said, there are anglers in this sport who use kevlar direct to the lure and it seems to work for them.

Hi Brandon, thank you for your valuable feedback. 2 of my mate looped kevlar direct to the lure but it was obvious that the hit rate on their stickbait was much low as compare to popper.


Ok I will insert 1 ft of mono inside the JB Hollow and have 5 ft of mono from the last guide to my stickbait. Let's see what the outcome, cheers

Patrick Naslund:
Sam.

I would suggest that you insert at least 3 feet of mono into jb hollow ans use jb130 instead of jb200.
 Then put about 13 kg tension on the wind on while you do the serving.

If you only use 1 feet mono insertion and no tension while serving, the mono has a big chanse of slipping
