short PR is good too mate....i cast on and off all day yesterday and PR knot still looking good.Make sure your guides are a generous size....12 to 16 mm top three....the knot is more likely to choke in those guides regardless of what knot you use.Wink
Wind ons are great for jigging and game fishing.

Just bought an entry level popper spin reel for casting poppers off the bricks. I was going to use a wind-on leader but have just read Yeehaa's thread on their new shock leader and gathered that nobody uses wind-ons.

 

Advise please...


As long as the rod u are using has big guides,should be smooth casting]]> Fri, 20 Apr 2012 08:52:40 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=77896&PID=1110934&title=wind-ons#1110934 <![CDATA[Wind ons? : FG is perfect ]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=77896&PID=1110932&title=wind-ons#1110932 Author: NICK3617

From a previous thread - http://www.fishing.net.nz/asp_forums/windons_topic75527_post1077987.html?KW=wind+on#1077987

Don't bother with a wind on leader, learn the FG knot and you'll be sorted.

Have used twisted leaders but prefer to just use a tony pena knot (as per http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNAzz_sG-Jo ) for my shore based poppering.

its piss easy to tie and has never let me down. Casts nicely too.
