Its the mainline that has snapped, I thought it would most likely be at the knot??

Hi Guys My pal is fishing braid and has had a few problems with snaps..... wierd i think. he is using Shimano Antares I think.... However does he need to tie knots differently or is the 5 turn trusty still ok???? Thanks

Hi guys I have been fishing a pure silt lake this season and have had some really good results.... 3 pbs!! I have been using the Korda Safe Zone Heli Leader in silt with light leads 1oz 1.5oz these have been mustad and they are the easiest things to use.... you simply tie them to your main line and off you go. they are not cheap £5 a go, but if you dont snag deep in any trees/bushes they last ages. I have had loads of fish inc 3 pb.s 16lb, then 18lb (2 actually same session) then last weekend a 21lb. I am using short rigs Korda braid something in stiff. you peel back the coating so there is some soft then stiff, simple knotless and away. Best to drop your rig in still boiling water and rub your fingers down the plastic coating as it cools to straighten and stiffen I have also had some really good success with the Gardner Talon tip hooks non barb and mouth snaggers (the white ones) I had a few hook pulls using the 1oz lead, but with the snagger they stayed in all the way to the bank. Some new ideas maybe maybe maybe not. They are working for me!!!
