pinning a hooklink down

[jonboy85]

I use heavy metal to pin down my hooklink but i find once wet it slides up and down the hooklink so I want something it can grip to. Whats the best thing to use?

[neilscatchin]

Leadcore inner coiled tightly round the hooklink and then mould your heavy metal around that.

you could be using too much just a piece the size of a mouse dropping is sufficient , snip a piece off with your fingernail then roll onto your hooklink between thumb and forefinger this will keep your hooklink pinned down and wont move.

Kryston produce a product called 'drop em' especially for pinning rigs down, its different to heavy metal.

if ur using a coated braid try roughing up the coating slightly where ur gonna stick the putty or thread a small rig stop on the hooklink and rough that up, rig stop would obviously would work with mono aswell.

If your using the 'drop em' just put it straight on the hook length, I never have any problems with it moving or coming off.

try a drop of superglue mate easy peasy:D

Get the gardner stuff it is top drawer. No need for stop knots and leadcore being wrapped around the line as it sticks very well.

 

What i tend to do is with braid i roll the gardner stuff into the braid so that the length is weighted rather than one spot. you can roll the smallest pinch up about an inch of braid and it stays there.

 

I used to tie on stop knots with light line and wrap it round this but no need now:D

Why not change your hookilink to a heavy weighted one?

I use the sufix heavy ones an dthey sink fine without any added weights.
