thank you matey! i was just spelling it wrong lol:D have you had much luck on it?

[stoogi]

I'm happy with it so far. I use it on 1 rod, to compare results. It's still early days, but it's looking good

I use it as well on 1 rod still early days for me aswell but it does stretch like mad, you will defo have to make a combi rig as you cant tie hair. It needs some lead putty rubbing on it aswell as it is very (boyuant spelling?) also dont wet the knot as ur tighting down as is makes it difficult for the knot to form due to shrinking when wet.

Do you all tie it to the mainline?? Found that to be a right PITA so using rig rings ... Don't like the 'big' knot left either even when its tied the way as per leaflet ...

 

How do you all use it withyour hooklength ??

[carpmandan]

I use rig rings mate to get a good strength knot (Grinner)

Same here. Then cover the ring with a bit of putty

seem to find with triggalink that after 1 cast its fine but when i recast it tangles very easily due to the stretch so drying out or use of anti tangle sleeves is required. It is a pain to use but if it gives you more confidence or increases your catch rate then it is worth it

[cooker1]

Ive been using it with pva or in sticks so less of a tangle prblem ...

 

If you want to see how long/stretch itll be .. catch it in the steam of the kettle when youre doing your shrink tube ... but not a lot
