Quick question on coated braid

[scoobydoo222]

Am I supposed to peel back some coating for where I tie the braid onto the swivel, just to allow enough for the knot, as well as the hook end. Also is it ok to peel it back with your teeth, it doesn't seem to damage it?

you have not got to peel it back, but sometimes if i am fishing a lake with alot of debris or where i feel the hooklink may stick up slightly from the bottom i will strip a cm bk near the swivel just to give it a pivoting point so it wont stick up funny on the floot.

 

As for near the hook when tying the knotless knot i allways strip enough bk for the hair and somtimes as i said above i will strip a little back just below the hook again to enable a pivoting point.

 

As for stripping it back with your teeth or nail that is fine. aslong as you dont start fraying the inner braid.

the korda stripper aint bad works ok on some rubbish on others. saves wearing the enamel off ya teeth though

strip it with fingermails if you strip swivel end it creates a hinge effect
