yonny Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) No mate. A hooklink is used to tie a rig. The rig is then attached to a lead system which can be presented on a leader. Just to confuse you further, there are different types of leader (shock leader, snag leader, leadcore/fluoro/leadless etc etc). Here is a hooklink (labelled "hooklength") presented on a leadcore leader using a helicopter lead system arrangement: Edited March 17, 2020 by yonny ..., Its-grim-up-north and B B 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montysa Posted March 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Hi Think got it the bit that is band is the bit shown as lead core. So main line to hook length would be ok. Which is the way fish at moment I use inline feeder on main line then lower poundage hook Length. Thank you for replies. yonny and kevtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
