I use fluro. I don't find knots any more difficult to tie and the extra abrasion resistance is worthwhile, A well tied PR knot will hold well and have yet to have one fail under high drags. If you're going to learn how to tie your own assist rigs, which is very worth while, make sure you look at using the Jig star ring and grommets. They're a worthwhile investment and will save you a few jigs once you start hooking up And gesus christ LBD your hard to read :P |

Nah it's been pretty quiet with the exception of one interesting character lately. LBD still bites as hard as usual though :P Hope life is treating you well and the fish are still biting just as hard as ever for you. |

What size leader should I be using for my different set-ups... I have a slow, light set-up with PE 1, 40lb (roughly) - what breaking strain of fluorocarbon should I be using for my 3-6m of leader? PE 5 set-up as well? Does anyone know where to find a decent article of how to rig up your jigs correctly, or an article that describes the advantages and disadvantages of all the concepts I have stumbled upon... it seems everyone has their own 'preferred' way of rigging up their arsenal. Have skimmed through the forums and not found anything that specifically answers this... and I do mean skimmed... Thanks in advance!! |
Crochet Cast wrote: Another old thread I know. Just a couple of questions I’m hoping to get opinions on. I’m getting set up for slow pitch jigging in deeper water with jigs up to 300g. With SPJ on pins and reefs it can be a surprise what you hook. I’m intend to go PE 3 for my braid, this is at the heavier end recommended by the overseas gurus. I’m thinking maybe 50lb leader which is much lighter than the 80-130lb leaders I use mechanical jigging. Would 50lb be OK for kings? Could I try even lighter like 40lb? Also I’m getting a bit disillusioned with Fluorocarbon. I would be interested opinions on using mono leaders for heavier SPJ? Cheers |
