i usually use no less than 8 feet of drennan double strength 6lb with a 1 3/4 rod and get some vaseline on the hooklength to stop it sinking and dragging your bait around.
what is the best knot to attach the hooklink to swivel etc as i have had a couple of figure eight loops snap on me.
has anyone else had this problem or is it me?
felt like it snapped like cotton about 5 mill below the loop.
