It depends on what sort of lake bed you are fishing over, but the strip tease is agood braid, i have used it for the last year on some lakes and never had a problem with it

If you want to straighten it out without taking a kettle fishing with you use the friction one like chris_rowland2005 said the best way to do it is to (before you cut it off the spool) make it tight and run it back and forth across your knee

Found some more Sufix Camfusion has a dark olive coating with a brown inner Sufix Super skin Green or Brown Sufix Ballistic Green or Brown only 25/45lb b/s Sufix Camo skin Green or brown Yes the smallest b/s that suffix do is 15lb not sure of the dia And i think the penny has dropped about 3 for a £?

Green: 6.75k (15lb) - XST15G - £9.99 11.25k (25lb) - XST25G - £9.99 Brown: 6.75k (15lb) - XST15B - £9.99 11.25 (25lb) - XST25B - £9.99 Cooker1 Not sure if this is what you ment by 3 for £??

Because on your profile it's set to GMT which is 1hr behind British Summer Time,alter it to GMT +1 and you'll be on time. Wow and it works

Arrrr just noticed you said snake skin not snake bite

Size 10 esp raptor without coating stripped back, i cant see why you are having trouble mate this went through easily and this is the 15lb b/s

And has been for months

What b/s are you useing iv just had a play with it and can get it through a size 10 esp rator hook twice (with the outer coating stripped back)

Thats proberly the best thing to do as a propperly wrote artical will explain it far better than i ever could without writing pages and pages

Hi mate and welcome to the forum First of all what do you want to catch? please dont answer fish general coarse fish (roach,perch,bream,etc) or carp? What sort of water do you plan on fishing? Canal,River,Lake/pool

The old dacron style braid was like the stuff you find in the coated braid (but it was mainly black)

Hi welcome to the forum Did'nt you get any instructions with it

I dont think you will find any that are much stiffer than the Korda Hybrid, but you could try Fox Reveal thats pretty stiff, Fox Reveal 20m Braided Hooklinks -Reveal is a combination of a multi-filament core covered in our removable plastic outer, which can be left as a stiff link or stripped back to create the ultimate combi link. The tough outer coating protects the core which is constructed from hundreds of very fine fibres, which separate in water making them virtually undetectable, by a carp when the bait is taken into a carp's mouth.

This is supposed to happen your lead,(maybe not on every fish) it could be down to the fish running through weed/snags but i would exspect you to feel this, or even a violent head shack from the carp will free the lead, whatever you do dont push the tail rubber on any harder cus this will make it as bad as a death rig, If you want to save money change to inline leads the only way you lose these are if you have a breakage

I'm not disagreeing with you i just think there is alot better hooklink materials out there

have you not been steaming it to tension it up and straighten it up proper mate?? its coated in flouro and needs the heat to hold it straight once out. Yes mate i have, but that does'nt make it any stronger it just straightens it out, yeah I know mate, never said it made it stronger, just that it does without doubt make it a better hooklink Oh i see, it's still jank though IMO

I have also had it snap on me when testing knots How can steaming it make it a better/stronger hooklink? i just dont use it anymore i would prefer to not take the risk

I can say luckily, I have never had a problem with lead clips but if i'm fishing a weedy or abit of a snaggy area i will trim the length of the lead clip down and only just push the tail rubber on quite often aswell the lead will discharge as it hit the water not that i want it to but it just goes to show you that they will pull off in the event of a breakage

Well they both have the same surname so i would presume they are married

There's a lake in Wychnor (staffordshire) that you can catch the carp with grass every cast an inch away from the bank Come to think of it i caught on a plain hook there aswell takes abit longer for the bites but still caught

The lead clips are not suppose to pull of the swivel it holds tight so the lead is discharged if it becomes snagged these are the new korda hybrid lead clips where the swivel is permantly attached into it but if you want something that will pull free try looking at the fox safety run rigs

These are the most common one's i use ESP Striptease Kryston Snake bite green and gold Sufix super skin in brown, although the outer coating does slip backwards when tying knots I have used korda hybrid but had it brake on me a couple of times when testing knots so dont use it anymore
