robbie_does Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Now i have done a search.....honest i have I am now going to enter the world of using a marker float and have been told to put around a 20ft mono shockleader on the end of the braid. can anyone tell me what sort of knot i should be using to join the two together and what strength of leader do i need. The longest distance i am likely to be using the marker float is about sixty yards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coops_northants Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I did not see the one i use but this is how you tie it. Overhand knot in the leader (dont pull tight) thread your mainline through it then coil around the leader 7 times up then 4 times on the way bac and put this through the loop created between knot and the 2 pieces of line. wet and pull up slowly. as the knot forms wet again then holding all tag ends pull up tight. perfect knot and very reliable.
