when you fish landbased most of the time you get a LOT of casting practice cos there ain't a lot of fish turning up. Many many days of casting all day without a sign.

definitely make sure the lure is connected somehow to the trace.

it doesn't cast or come back to you when you turn the handle otherwise.

Sometimes the Uni when looped twice won't sit nice, but if you work it you can get it sitting real nice. I haven't found any difference in knot strength... I do find myself using knots that loop twice or three times now, Jansik Special or Worlds Fair Knot are good knots that use multiple loops, the Worlds Fair is nice and compact.
 
I wonder if a bog gob of spit might help the line close up smoothly when going through twice sam?
I would have thought all the line would slip into place?
Plenty of options for you play with here peteWink

In the past I just cut off the grommet from a solid ring. Split ring through the grommet and uni onto grommet. I machined the grommet down slightly so it would fit through the top guide so I could keep the leader the length I wanted and save on retying all the time when packing down gear and washing down.

But yeah those super sensitive stickbaits will swim easier when tied straight to. If so, I'd go a small chain knot as well as uni will slice through itself with enough drag and the super supple casting leader won't be the best on any chaffage on the connection.

Sweet, thats worlds fair is different. yea I did some testing a while back ( methods were pretty crude) but it seemed the twice through uni (sitting right) would tighten up on itself and basically pull itself apart right at the centre wrap around the eye, wasn't such an issue with single through or with other twice through knots that don't tighten on themselves; chain, bimini, benjanmin etc...]]> Sun, 10 Nov 2013 04:47:51 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=95752&PID=1373652&title=terminal-connection-carpenter-bf#1373652 <![CDATA[Terminal connection Carpenter BF : JoshW wrote:Looping through...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=95752&PID=1373558&title=terminal-connection-carpenter-bf#1373558 Author: ReelAppealLures

Hey Harry just had a look at Ocean Mark snaps but not used them before so dunno.
From above comments I might tie hard to the lure first have a few casts see what the action looks like in that mode then maybe try a solid/split ring setup. See how much difference it makes!]]> Sat, 09 Nov 2013 08:58:33 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=95752&PID=1373394&title=terminal-connection-carpenter-bf#1373394
