I like to tie, less gear in the water for finicky fish. Something to be aware of is Kingfish will expose cheap or worn terminal tackle (aswell as poorly tied knots) I have seen lures lost due to split rings opening up while on fish. For GT's I used a swivel and split ring if I was using a twisted leader, but keeping a keen eye on the condition of the ring. ------------- as dead as dead is |

If changing out a lot, grommet to split ring. Note that this won't swim some lures as well thou. More stuff = more movement and less direct contact with the lure. ------------- 6th place in the inaugural Te Kauwhata Regionals paddle crab division |
