thanks, one more question. do you think that choies of hooklength material ie braid or mono should require different hook patterns ?
-
thanks, would you always go for a long braid hooklink instead of mono ?
-

thanks chris, i would be gratefull if you could. how do i give you my address?
-
tried it with the two holes in the crimp along the line from top of pliers to bottom and it makes the crimp wide & flat but grips the line. crimping it at 90 degrees to this line rolls it, it looks a lot tidier but dont hold ?

cash, when i tried the rubber bead it was a 5mm esp one, it would slide over the knot with my fingers but when i put a swivel on and pulled the hook length it all locked up. am i using the wrong type of bead for this setup & if so could you recomend something else.

thanks for answering, but when i tied a loop on the end of 22lb flouro it would not pass through my lead clip. after watching korda 4 dvd they were using a fixed swivel in the clip, is that the way to go?
-
if you was to use it with say a nash lead clip would you use some strong line to lock the swivel in place so could not release the swivel after the lead has gone

there is a flourocarbon leader in this months iycf with a pierced rubber bead surely that would`nt pass over a loop knot in 22lb leader ?
-
hi, in a post a while ago it was recomended to use a 22lb flourocarbon leader but when you tie a loop on the end to join it to the main line the knot will not pass through the hole in the lead clip or tail rubber ?. i guess this is not good.
