I have purchased some 25lb super mantis, can anyone tell me how to strip off the coating?

 

how much to strip off?

 

and what is the best tool to use to strip the coating off

 

many thanks

Your fingernails... on a normal knotless knot arangement, I srip about 6-7 inches of coating off before tying the hook on, although it doesn't have to be perfect because you can strip a bit more after you have tied it, if required.

use your teeth,u only need to grab it lightly and it strips of easy.

boiling water does the trick, requires a bit of practticeb ut doesnt harm the braid at all underneath

It helps if you hold it over some steam to soften it first:)

Remove what you need to tie the rig you want!

 

I have some rigs with just a supple hair and a stiff hooklink, some with a supple length next to the hook, some that is supple at both ends and stiff in the middle.
