Jumpus GooDarus
Thanks jas

I've got a folder full of animated knots on another HDD

So I'll be rooking fraw Rail Rot huh ?? laugh.gif

Yeah the knot I did was real crappy.

Do you use the Nail Knot to tie mono leader back to fly line as well ?????
jasonb
yeah mate ,nail knot from backing to line and the same from line to leader ,,,mate ya dont have to go and buy leaders just use about 20lb for about 4 ft then about 30lb for the last 5ft or so ,depends on what your targeting ,,on trout i just use 6lb nylon ,,and cod i use 15lb nylon ,,,but for things wiff teefies you will need something bigger as you now ,,,,

Thanks Sir Reel saved me opening up other HDD.

Knot looks very simply

jas haven't spooled the freshwater reel yet.

Doing the salt water one 1st & no probs about leaders have spools of just about every fluro leader around got given a few spools of a new fluro called Royal today but left them behind laugh.gif laugh.gif

Played around with it today getting the scales out to test out the knot strengths etc As the breaking strain wasn't marked on the packaging nice stuff though should be released real soon.
jasonb
