the bite leader is doubled back on itself. Cam is obviously way better at them than me(how do you get them that tight) but my ones accounted for a couple of hundred YFT and wahoo so I know they don't **** out. good for jigging too. dont know what brand swivel the one in the pic is... I use N/T 200-500lb swivel's personally

I did make a couple twisties for SWF, crazy lookin things they are too. Again not sure if I did it right. Did it in thirds with the loop to the flyline being a double of the twist to get 4 strands (cause of small line dia), with a suregons loop down to the usual two strands then a biminin down to one strand which then gets attached to a short bite leader. Not the easiest leader system I've ever tied but a bit of fun on a rainy day. Only used one so far on a mates 12wt for some small kingies but can't wait to put them to the reel test with some poppers to tease some bigger ones up to the fly.
