whitefinger Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 been trying some mono hook lengths of late, and why when i bring them in its all wrapped around the lead? normally use hybraid streamed, but thought id try some mono. Quote
courtz Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 do you use a leader such as rig tubing or leadcore courtz Quote
courtz Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 leaders help prevent the hooklink catching on the main line, alternatively less supple monos such as flourocarbon will stand less chance of tangling. Quote
whitefinger Posted April 5, 2006 Author Report Posted April 5, 2006 yes mate leadcore, its maxamia(sorry im *************** at spelling) mono and it has lots of mermory. maybe its just crap line, maybe im just crap! Quote
courtz Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 it could be that the hooklengths are too long or the leader is too short. some baits can cause the line to twist on the retreive, but im no expert tight lines courtz Quote
salokcinnodrog Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 You can cut down Tangles on Mono Hooklengths by using PVA presentations, either a Stringer or a Bag. Some rigs tangle on the retrieve as you pick up the Lead, yet in the water they are Untangled, so it appears you may have had a Tangle, yet you didn't. Because the Lead is in the middle of the coil as you pick up to retrieve, the Hooklength tangles around the Lead. :D Quote
