I've been playing around with the twisted leader to solid ring connection with a couple methods I was told about from an aussie mate (in writting not pics).

Alternatively make your leader out of 100kg Plytapus braid, and tie straight to your lure (I have as small a duel snapp swivel as is possible). I have a bimini to nail knot with a length of the above as my leader, two turns on the reel with just enough to cast with, out the tip. Saves having to have an extra connection for the bite leader.

[QUOTE=Badfish]Whats the abrasion resistance like on 100kg braid? 

Its a pretty open weave  braid, and has a lot more strands to break than Mono. Whereas Mono under load would only need a nick, this stuff would need to be repeatedly abraded?

Helpful video by Nomad guys.

Twisted leaders also provide some nice line stretch aswell as abrasion resistance so a medium tight twist is perfect. (I'd call the picture above as tight, and pretty much spot on) As long as the twistie is even so both strands share the weight evenly that is ideal.  Sometimes you have 1 strand straight with the other strand doing all the twisting, or gaps in too lose twists.  Chuck them out and start again.
