Question about the reverse combi, does Big Carp Tackle carry the hookline materials that would be adequate. I have never used sinking braids or fluro, so I am a bit lost in deciding. They do not carry the ESP sinking line or the ESP Fluro. Nor does Wacker.
I tend to over think fishing. Please help me.
When I am over complicating something please kick me in the face. Hard.

Personally I ignore all of the advertisements. I'm getting my floro from academy. Just make sure it has low memory.

What pound fluro? 15 to 20? This looks much simplier than I thought. - An overhand loop with fluro. - Fluro Knotless knot to the hook. - A strange and messy Albright (wrap both ways) knot to link braid to the fluro. Not sure why not just a clean Albright. - Double overhand loop knot for the connection or palomar to a swivel. Is this correct? Should the fluro length from the eye be about 2" and the braid length be 8"? I could see the value in a sinking braid. Jason, If so what is the rest of the rig that you use for buffalo? Bolt or sliding? Leads used? I love learning something new

What is the added value of this over a regular hairless knot setup?
I am haunted by waters, but I am tormented by meatballs.

The stiffness of the hair and bit of mono or flouro coming off the hook makes it easier to actually hook the buffalo in their down-facing mouths. I don't know the exact mechanism of it but thats the reasoning. I think Shaun Harrison explains it more fully in his article in USCarpProMagazine. Its a few issues back.
