  1. I see a lot of rigs have tubing. Here's a few questions on necessity and uses. I understand shrink tubing for line aligning the hook with the hair. My questions are about them... 1. On a scale of 1-10 (1 being basically just for looks, 10 being as necessary as line) how necessary is a line aligner 2. Can i use rig tubing to align? 3. How should I prepare the shrink tubing if necessary? 4. On what rigs is it most necessary? Rig Tubing 1. What's the point? 2. On a scale of 1-10 (1 being basically just for looks, 10 being as necessary as line) how necessary is rig tubing? 3. How should I prepare the shrink tubing if necessary? 4. On what rigs is it most necessary? And what brands are best for both? Btw: I'm planning on 16 lb main and 8-10 lb leader/hooklink. As always thanks for the help!
  2. Ok, what do you think would be the most versatile? Also what's the difference between uncoated and coated braid. Meaning what does coated mean? And hooklink is just material for the hair right?
  3. One of my online tackle stores has 1 meter lengths of these hook lengths for 1.25$ which is pretty good for starting out. So you would recommend Kryston? They have Kryston: silkworm, coretex, mantis, quicksilver, merlin, supernova, jackal, snakeskin/bite. Korda: soft n trap, supernatural, mouth trap. Nash: triggerlink and missalink. I hope these names mean something to you guys.
  4. Ok, now correct me if I'm wrong, but the hooklink would just be the hair correct? And why would leaders improve "castability?
  5. Am from the States however I think I may have a day in France before going to Ireland. Can anyone recommend a one-day lake around Paris with some nice carp and maybe some big cats.

    My mainline is Berkely Trilene Carp Line. Now for my leader and hooklink can I use my main line or both, or should I buy a hooklink or different materiel for leader like fluorocarbon or leadcore?
  7. Thanks for the tip. Have you ever bin around River blackwater?
  8. Planning to go to ireland next year. Any suggestions of where to go, what to use, tackle shops? Will be in the southern area around County Cork and Kerry.
