Title: Tuna leader systems
Post by: Damian Fantozzi on April 21, 2011, 12:32:06 PM
Wondering if anyone can reccomend a leader setup for the SBTs

im planning to use a FG knot from the mainline to about 3m of 120lb leader, uniknot to a crane swivel, bouz split ring , lure.

does this sound about right for the job?

Depends on the line class and class of fish you expect to encounter as well.

I'm using 9ft of 130lb Supple Leader connected via FG, or 4/5ft twisted 60/80lb connected with bite leader of 100 - 130lb FC. This of course is matched up to PE6 - 8 outfits.
