I've been asked by a few people lately about how to finish twisted leaders without a uni knot or weaving.
Here is the easiest and by far the most attractive way of finishing the leader (i did not develop this way of finishing the leader).
Thanks goes out to Che Carson who sent me some samples of leaders which also use this way of finishing the leader - it is most appreciated.
1. Find something heavy or fixed so that you can attach your swivel to - this is a must or it will be too difficult to finish the leader with slack. I have used a spare hook hanger to attach my swivel to.
2. Thread the swivel onto the end of the twisted leader (non-loop end) and attach to hook (or similar). Adjust length to suit (i.e. the amount of leader you have threaded through the swivel is roughly the same amount of bite leader you are beginning to construct).
3. With one strand in each hand (bite leader strand and main twisted leader strand), begin to twist/twine together the strands i.e. one strand is moved up and over to the left of the other strand, with the other strand going down and beneth -repeat with tension. If it doesn't look uniform, you haven't done it correctly.
4. A completed twisted leader. Notice how uniform and neat the finish is. Apply nail knots, glue and heatshrink.
I hope you guys find this useful.
If you would like pictures and instructions of how to finish the leader by braiding/weaving or by applying a single strand shock leader - don't hesitate to ask me
