Title: Join twisted leader & braid
Post by: Halezan Hassan on April 14, 2008, 12:04:20 AM

Hello all sifu's here .

What will be the best knot joining twisted leader (shown in pic below) with braid? what will be the best and strong for sure?

Thanks!

There is a thread on twisted leader to bimimi connection.

Check that out

Thanks Brandon. But I wonder how thick is your leader and the join of braid with leader when use bimini to tie both. Any problem during cast or when you launch your popper? does the line snag at rod guides?

Thanks!

I think it's one of the smoothest mainline/leader connections you can get, Halezan.
