I’m a bit bloody slow sometimes. I need to start experimenting with braided leaders and tippets for Snakehead. I’ll splice a 10WT Hird Special this weekend with a view to dropping down to 50lb Spectra for tippet.
Got any suggestions regards recipe, Graeme?
I really want this thing to float for the quick shots. With spectra I might even find a way of using the Knot2Kinky wire I have (it cuts through 50lb mono, no matter which knot I try, well below breaking strengths of the wire).
I can see lots of advantages - thinner tippet, floating leader while waiting for the shot, potentially longer leader because leader in the rings won’t be such a challenge, quieter presentation, superior snag resistance - just for starters!
Cheers, Paul
