mogi leader knot

<< < (4/4)

Shane Hartstone:
The Knot was Mistaken as Mogi's knot, infact it is from the Jigging Master Boys.  Passing twice through the ring twice works good, especially when sleeved with 200lb dacron, or "knot sleve".

Sam Beeby:
It was in Fishing World august 2008. pg 16 Definitely Mogi and friends in the story. Looks like the knot you guys are mentioning is the one in the story

Shane Hartstone:
Sam, sorry if I sound like a twat, but I was on that trip(cover shot august), and the trip before with Mogi.  The Jigging Master boys and Mogi's boys use different connections, both of which have their pros and cons.  Sean the author hasn't fished with the Jigging Master boys, he learned the connection in NZ.

Sean has another article coming out soon about the Coral sea, keep an eye out for it.

Cheers, Shane.

Sam Beeby:
all good.  I was surprised to see that the only pics of overheads were of Torsas and quite wide ones too. Seems like those guys rate torsas and don't necesarily mind using heavier/wider reels either - I  line capacity is an issue when using PE8-10+
