bite leader
October 01, 2012, 07:10:52 PM
Can someone post some pics of bite leaders.
I have made up 60lb,80lb,100lb and 150lb twisted leaders and finished them off by plating the tag end back through the twists and this looks very agricultural it was also a very painfull exercise and I figure there may be a trick to it.
Also what types of glue should be used for the wipping.
Cheers

Corey Howell

have had a lot [too many when u live this far from a tackle shop] hoo/spanish/shark biteoffs when casting the deep edges and also on top of the reef on dusk [GT'o'clock around here]

tried going up to 250lb hard mono, and also twisteds, but still getting snipped. so time to try wire. something 'hoo proof but still low-profile enough for big GTs to get hot and horny

pic attached of rig using short twist of .022 single strand wire, with solid ring each end to avoid split ring creep.

greatly appreciate any comments/suggestions on how to best rig this. thanks! Corey
