Ah, but then you are doing something else to get away from tailing mate ;) Want to borrow the release light? Would be fun to get that on high speed and with release light to see what really happens :cool: Cheers Lasse Yes! That's a great idea. :) That's what you said years ago, Paul. :whistle: And ...

Bimini Twist
Or, perhaps I've misunderstood the original question as to where the twists are?

Bimini Twist
Paul, I got an old video of about 2 minutes if somebody wants to put it up on youtube or something. It's a .wmv file and I don't do youtube any more. There's no bimini there but the part I was talking about is there and you can easily see the stretch I was talking about. If you have something to put...

Bimini Twist
I'm not sure what the concern is. On the loop to loop end where a class leader connects to the butt loop all the guys I've fished with have always added twists to the loop prior to tying a surgeon's loop in the doubled line formed by the bimini loop. Some of the old timers used to cut that bimini lo...

Thank you Paul. I never know how posts will be received. Bernd, my apologies, for suggesting you do exactly what you already did! I think my brain is aging even faster than my body. It keeps misplacing information where I can't find it when I need it. I've lost tarpon in so many different ways it no...

Bernd, Great article and pictures! I have been using Jinkai “K” size crimps for the fly loop on 60 lb Seaguar. They are much, much smaller and more discrete than any knot I can tie to a fly. And the loop will not only be exactly the size you want every time, but the strength, if properly crimped, wi...

Yes it was a carry marker point! The first time it came in at 88'6" so I repeated the cast and tied a new knot with a longer carry that came in at 92ft. Did you land the fish, Jim? :) Cheers, Paul Sorry, it's taken me so long to reply. Still backed up from the Sept hurricane. I didn't land tha...

Late rotation
Thanks Mike and everyone. Yes, I know exactly what you mean, Mike. Like you, I hear guys on some of the saltwater forums talking about overhanging only a few feet of running line even with integrated heads and while surf casting for distance. And it never made any sense to me when they had room behi...
