Tis a NOMAD, this is even how Nomad say to rig them. there was no treble on the belly to start with, but will give it a try]]> Wed, 22 Sep 2010 19:43:36 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=57792&PID=825713&title=leader-rigging#825713 <![CDATA[Leader Rigging : Try just changing the belly hook...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=57792&PID=825598&title=leader-rigging#825598 Author: Bunzo

Try just changing the belly hook which will help hold the stickbait in the water, while the single on the tail helps free up the action.]]> Wed, 22 Sep 2010 16:33:45 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=57792&PID=825598&title=leader-rigging#825598 <![CDATA[Leader Rigging : hookerpuka wrote:The reason...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=57792&PID=825409&title=leader-rigging#825409 Author: Seth

 My current rig is fluro 100lb about 3 meters attached by a shorter Pr knot to help with casting. then smoothed over with knot sense. attached to lure directly. 

 I run Nomad ulua/dogtooth 90/120 with 2 x sj41 9/0's at the front and a 7/0 jobu at the back.


 
Yep, go back to the original treble's and see if that makes a bit of a diffenece.  Also ditch the fluro and go to supple trace, will impove your casting and may also be contributing to the twist due to memory and stiffness in the water.

The knots tend to get stretched out a bit in the finishing off zone. I see someone on here using knot sense, i think this will be a good idea to aid casting and help the knots hold up a bit longer.
I usually head out with a couple of reels ready to go so if one knot starts to look ratty then i just grab the other one and bang on.
When jigging i have been using bees waxs on the PR and seems to help it hold up for longer, might be some help maybe]]> Tue, 21 Sep 2010 19:59:50 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=57792&PID=825169&title=leader-rigging#825169 <![CDATA[Leader Rigging : Yeh the PR does get knocked around...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=57792&PID=825138&title=leader-rigging#825138 Author: ginga

Agree with Josh on leader length, that length is perfect for me and allows for a few lure changes before i need to retie leader. That length leader ends up being about 1.5 times your rod length as a rough guide, this length leader is going to help us when we do hook up a marlin.
I use a Pr knot or FG knot, the fg casts better but not by much.
I tie my leader direct to the lure, basically copying Kenji Konishi. If he is doing it then thats a good enough reason for me.
 
How do you find the PR knot holds up?
I've found it gets knocked around a bit from constant casting and the knot going through the guides at pace....

Good point Mark!!
 
Forget fluro, even run of the mill mono is not that nice to cast when you get up around 100lb+
 
Varivas Shock Leader or Fisherman Stealth Leader. Beautiful!.
