A recipe for cracked SIC ring at the tip top guide .

Ray Stevens:
Anybody using wind on leaders guys?

Cheers

Brandon Khoo:
Not really recommended, Lip Song. Over a period of time, you're going to put so much stress on the SiC tip by accidentally winding it too far that it will eventually crack. if you want to fish for GTs, it is best to learn and use the direct braid to mono knots. Quite frankly, you'd be better off using a really basic bit fat braid to mono knot like an albright instead of the swivel.

If you use too short a leader, it won't be long enough to avoid that deadly tail on the GT.

I've seen a number of people using these over the years, Ray, but they always have had casting problems.
