andyc34 Posted December 4, 2005 Report Posted December 4, 2005 When tying stiff rigs with snake bite I usually strip coating off for the hair and knotless knot. I've often wondered, for the purpose of anti-tangling, whether it would make any great differance leaving it on. What are your veiws on stiff hairs. Andy.C Quote
salokcinnodrog Posted December 6, 2005 Report Posted December 6, 2005 I prefer to strip the Hair as I do like the supple flexibility of the braid. I have tried both leaving it on and removing the coating, but have more confidence in the uncoated hair. Even on fluorocarbon hooklengths I still like a supple hair. Quote
wayno Posted December 6, 2005 Report Posted December 6, 2005 Your right mate a supple hair is better, I tried playing about with stiff hairs a few years ago and I dont know if it was just me but I had alot of problems with hook pulls/poor hooking so I switched back to a supple hair and i had no problems Quote
andyc34 Posted December 6, 2005 Author Report Posted December 6, 2005 Cheers fella's Although I guess I was hoping for the opposite answer, I'm a lot more confident with a striped hair too. Just don't like the thought of the hair wrapped round the hook to much Andy.C:D Quote

pezza Posted December 7, 2005 Report Posted December 7, 2005 If you strip it back it makes the bait act more natural in the water. Quote
