i find that the coating on the strip tease is too supple?
if i want to use a coated braid i want it stiff so id use hybrid, if i wanted a supple braid id use sink link, strip tease is some where between the two!!!
Leadcore is no more expensive than rig tubing!
ESP leadcore £12.95 for for 25 meters and ESP rig tube/ancher rig £1.80 for two meters.
Leadcore 52p per meter
Rig tube 90p per meter
Rig tubing is more expensive leadcore all the way
3 inches you may as well have it all stripped!
The carp will be laughing at you!
You really aint got a clue have you mate. Why not strip it back 3 inches it will give you a bit more movement at the hookbait which can help the hook turn better. If you are using pop ups you can strip it back 1,2 or 3 inches and have your counterbalance weight on the spot its stripped back to. I use fox cortex alot with 12/15 inch hooklengths stripped back anything up to 4 inches and I catch plenty of good fish. As for the carp laughing at jake I bet they aint laughing as much as I was when yet again on here I read another stupid childish remark.
???????????????????????????????????
As far as i know the older version of hybrid was witrhdrawn from sale. And a newer version brought out. So how old was your spool?
Anyway hybrid is the best braid available never ever had any problems with it. Infact i landed two 20's on it in the last 24hours!
i would always use the needle knot as i have 100% confidence that the lead can pass over it making if you were to break off . if you use any other knot you have to splice each end and when testing this (at home) i found that sometimes the lead does not pass over it. Making it a DEATH rig.
Thanks
Is it true that some leadcore is easler to splice than others.
I've been looking at ESP leadcore and am going to get some this weekend. What leadcore do you use and rate?
