Line to lure

(1/3) > >>

Doug Terry:
How do I connet my line to lure.
Will be using a Mono to braid knot to join 65lb power braid to 80lb Sufix Zippy Leader.
What's the best way to join the leader to the lure.
Do you use a machahon snap swivel 90lb or do you tie the leader straight to the lure with a nail loop knot.
thanks for your help.

Ben Rivers:
Uniknot to Swivel, Swivel to Split-Ring, Split-Ring to Lure.

Mark Harris:
The method described by Ben is a common one used by GT anglers usually with about 200 lb split rings and something like a size 2/0 or 3/0 NT Swivel.

You could also look at uni-knotting the leader straight to the leader or numerous other set ups that folks use.

Doug Terry:
how about

Antonino Augugliaro:
for connection I use:
for poppers: split ring (200-250) to popper +grommet to split ring +crimp to leader line
for stickbait: split ring to stickbait + swivel or grommet + crimp or uniknot (depending from stick bait size)
