Stelljigger has got it.  Stay away from the premade windons.  They make sooooo much racket going through the eyes and cut a heaps of distance off the cast.  If you are talking about ones that you make with a FG, PR or whatever knot, just experiment.  I have found that I do not like leader on my spool as it increases the chances of windknots around the eyes.  The only drawback is the need for gloves, or very tough fingers.]]> Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:43:58 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=75527&PID=1077987&title=windons#1077987 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=75527&PID=1076850&title=windons#1076850 Author: stellajigger

wind-on leaders not so good for casting,the dacron is to slow over the guides, all good for jigging ,in about 5-6m length around 150lb or less,depending on the turf your fishing in.]]> Wed, 08 Feb 2012 20:19:28 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=75527&PID=1076850&title=windons#1076850 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=75527&PID=1076404&title=windons#1076404 Author: footey

I am far from an expert but have found that having a short windon works best for me. Length is one turn around the reel spool and then hangs just at the right casting length off rod tip. I use 120lb supple leader joined with 120lb hollow dacron. I then finish joins off with UV Knot sense which seems a really nice product.]]> Wed, 08 Feb 2012 07:24:21 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=75527&PID=1076404&title=windons#1076404 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=75527&PID=1076328&title=windons#1076328 Author: scuzzymoto
