salokcinnodrog Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 I'm a Big Fan of either Amnesia or Drennan Greased Weasel. I have found that Amnesia can be a bit stiff at times when its cold, so often switch to 40lb Grey Greased Weasel. This is soft and supple at all temperatures. I can't use tapered Leaders I have a tendency to Crack off for some reason. With Nylon Shockleaders you need to allow 10lbs for every ounce of Lead you are using, with Braid because of the Lack of stretch you NEED to DOUBLE this, so 20 for every ounce of Lead. Also with Braided Leaders make sure you wear a finger stall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spagmiester Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 never new that about the braid and you needing to "up" the breaking strain by double that to what you would normaly use on a mono leader.Thanks and I'll bear that in mind next time I need to use one (most of my fishing is margin tactics at the mo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
