It sure was simpler when all there was was mono. If God is your co-pilot then change seats https://abaltcustomlures.com/

Just adds cost and gives less knot strenght. Braid for frogs. Do not fish a jig. The Sheep who only fears the Wolf is eaten by the Shepherd.

It sure was simpler when all there was was mono. This is just the way I do it. It's always a debatable topic. Everyone does something different. This is just what I use for my confidence factor and familiarity. Last edited by Patrick M; 01/18/12 02:31 PM.
