trees Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 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.

aliali Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 boiling water does the trick, requires a bit of practticeb ut doesnt harm the braid at all underneath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 It helps if you hold it over some steam to soften it first:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 My Thumbnail. 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.
