...

What you use ? 3,4,5 turn ?

Think I might give it a Whip out on Sunday, possibly end up buying new braid (Again). BUT, if I do I can only get to my local Fishing Republic and it would have to be something like Korda Braid, Fox Braid, Sonik Braid.....unless you guys know a decent online Braid not costing the earth.

It's the actual Briad on my reel, under the clip we're it's fraud, the Leader only put on yesterday.

Korda Basix 30lb to Korda Arma Kord 50lb with a B2B 5 Turn Grinner.

Did the Back 2 Back grinner yesterday n it took me 3 attempts 🤣🤣, only properly ever used the palmar knot... BUT I think my spod braid is fraying in the clip. 🙄🙄

Very similar

Will have a look at this too, ended up with Korda Armkord and tying 5 turn back 2 back grinner.

Just done mine with a 5 turn back to back grinner knot...30lb Korda Basix Spod braid to 50lb Arma Kord.

It would have to be something from the Local Go Outdoors / Fishing Republic for my Shockleader....Fox, Korda, Korum something I know will be in stock. What knot will be best for tying Spod Braid (Korda Bsix 30lb) to a Shock leader.

to mess about adding a shock leader when I want one, I had the same one on for ages, I also prefer it on my line holding finger to the braided line and think I get better feel from it. And less likely to slice my finger off when casting. What shockleader be best, I'm on bit of shopping spree now... Yesterday - The Nash Bag to match Scope R10. Today - Camo pop up cradle (ordered this morning), Sticky Manilla Boilies (later when out).....Korda Arma Kord 50lb ???

Yah, True, but the mechanical outcome are virtually identical ? I dint think I've ever seen anyone use a Boa?

What is really the difference from "The Twig" n "Boa Rig" They both have elastic/spring functions...

A mate used 1 other week, was just curious about em, our club lake isn't hard, but it's not easy either, but 1 his rods had a "Twig" on and never even had a beep, it ejected on cast, the arms have to be PVA taped every time. No offence to anyone with em or wanting to try em, but every video now, I'm sick of seeing em.

It's the Wife that needs a Medal, she's took full control of the Carer situation. I'm here now at my nans and so far the carers have not been since 9pm.last night, wife on with this now, also while at work. Luckily I'm off work all this week. My Sister chose to go out on the 🍻, thinking if everything was OK, when she knew it wasn't, she did try yesterday with the Washing, but we were behind her tidying up. She should know what to do as she works in a care home for her Job.

You will not belive the weekend I've had since Saturday 😓😓😓....Right, Saturday Morning we drove to Catterick (about 9am) 2hr (ish) to see Sister & Brother in law/kids, as they have moved into a new house. We arrived just after 11am all happy to see each other, had a brew got little settled, had a look round new house and went for some dinner. Around 1pm I git a phone call off my Dad saying My grandad has been rushed into Hospital, after the call it all comes to light he has been picking up, carrying heavy loads and going to the Tip and not asking anyone to help, resulting in him getting a Hernia, BUT in a few hours time my Dad (Grandads son) is going in holiday so we are really in limbo now.... I phoned back an hour or so later and asked for an update, he has been told he needs an operation as the Hernia is in a life threatening position, wrapped round his bowl. So we decided to drive back away from Catterick about 3pm (did plan to come home around 6pm). So, got back home sorted the Dog and Lad, went up to mi Mum n Dad's and had a chat to what is now happening ? At this point they say there still going in Holiday, My Head burst and what came out my mouth was a first for me towards my parents, think they were more shocked than surprised I'd said it. So we went around to my Nans to see how she was, now at this point, **** did hit the Fan, My Nan is FULLY DEPENDANT on my grandad due to her having a stroke years ago, can not walk or toilet or anything....this Dropped/Daunted on us. So at this point we contacted my Dad before they went away, told em what needed to happen and Care needs to be brought in for my Nan (this fell on me n wife), but all I got back was were going on holiday. So, we phoned the Hospital to get an update for my grandad and if he had the operation he would also need care for at least 6 weeks to recover, head nearly exploded then. So, I rang my sister to find out she already knows everything from mum n dad, so I asked her were is she and she had gone out on the 🍻🍻 with her boyfriend, so for a 2nd time my head/mouth verbally let rip. So, alot of Phone calls to Social Services, Domestic Care, Local Council all were made and we have got Emergency Care in for my Nan from Sunday Dinner Time (Assessment pending 1st). Assessment Team came and they would only do all the needs if it was all in 1 room, so we brought a single bed down to living room, komode for toileting, Wasing utensils. We then rang the hospital about my grandad and he was actually coming home (at this point we didn't know he discharged himself) because didn't want to leave my Nan on her own, spoke to Doctors and he physically cannot do anything to cause Strain on his boddy, he had to go back Monday (Yesterday) for his Operation.....on way home we told him what is happening and what is in place. So, we stayed the night Saturday, Sunday day....doing all the care needs needed for my nan, at this point my Sister still had no idea what was going on fully until about Tea Time, were she then "Tried" to help. Monday morning came and took my grandad back for 9am for his operation to be told after all his checks, it is not needed 😓😓, due to the rest he has put on his self. He has to go back in 2 weeks for another check up. So....we are keeping care in for my nan for a few weeks, 4 times a day for Domiciliary purposes. BUT, the point I'm making is that myself and wife have practically yackled on this on our own while my sister has been in the 🍻🍻 Saturday Sunday, and mi dad (nan son) has gone away on 10day holiday. Trying to do all this on a Bank Holiday weekend is literally physically & Mentally draining.

Since having mine I've only had 2 none opens, my fault for getting bait in the spring inside at the top 🙄🙄 Mate has the competition spod, but they are nowhere near as good as the performance spod.

I've always thought about a shock leader, but due to not distance fishing, and thinking its another not I don't want.... Casting and accuracy (not being big headed) I think is spot on. I just think a decent braid and good knot to spod/lead, sounds enough (at moment) to me.

I use Korda Basix Braid 30lb straight through, only 1 crack off so far, but only fished upto 12 wraps so far with it, if need further would a leader be needed ?

I'm scared of scuffing em, had em on a walk with dog, commmmfy.
