Knots for heavy popping?
Submitted by Aaron_Moses95 on Mon, 2013-10-14 11:08
Hi guys, heading up to Exmouth next year for some gt popping and was just wondering how u guys set up. Ive got a 20000 stella with 80lb braid, matched with a t curve gt special. What knots do u guys use to tie braid to leader and then to the lure itself? Ive never done heavy fishing before and want as much time as possible to learn to tie the knots properly.
Thanks in advance

Yep,
Sammy's onto it or if you can't be bothered with an AG chain knot the good old Uni will suffice.

Get some crazy tail twisted
Get some crazy tail twisted leaders. Makes easy work of it. All you need to do then is a Bimini and then a cats paw to attach the leader. All on YouTube...

For my 2c I say PR knot for
For my 2c I say PR knot for braid to leader, then simple old Uni for the terminal.
Never had either of those knots fail on me.
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
