Leader material for twisted leaders

<< < (6/10) > >>

Brandon Khoo:
I had nothing to do this weekend in Noosa (family get together) so I made up a few twisted leaders using the Penn 10X. I think I will put this into the the "it seemed like a good idea at the time" bucket. The material is so stiff that it just doesn't feel right. I will still finish these and test them out at Bugatti but they just don't feel nice to me.

Greg Burt:
  Brandon,
 I had nothing to do last weekend in Mooloolaba [much wind and rain] so I made up a few twisted leaders using the Penn 10X [100lb] ;). I also thought it was stiff and with little stretch, but that was a trade off for abrasion resistance :-\.
 Compared it with some other similar 1mm leader material, It was much stiffer than 100lb Monoflex and 150lb Jinkai and only marginally better than 150lb Momoi XL [1.28mm hard shelled]. Sounds like good jigging leader to me ;D.
 I won't reconsign mine yet until you try yours at Bugatti.
 

Cam Foley:
Hey Bun have you tried the ANDE leader imagine it would be much like the Penn.

Greg Burt:
 Sure is, the ANDE 80lb is stiffer than than the 100lb Penn, it's nearly as springy as Flurocarbon. :o

Paul Taylor:
Damon,

I am using 100lb Momoi and I am having trouble with finishing the knot off once ihave come back on the bite.
I am placing a solid ring in the bite and running back up about 12 inches, I was told to use a uni knot but it has got me stuffed.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Regards Paul
