tassieflyer 27 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 looking at chasing some sharks and wondering about attaching the wire trace? do i just attach it to the 50lb mono or do i run a bigger trace between the main line and wire trace and what knots are suggested?cheers in advance justin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Discovery Journey 0 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 you really want it set up like this:Main line/(braid or mono) --- Attached to wind on leader ------then attach your mono/Wire traceDepending on the size of the sharks you want to target though ?

trihull 177 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Use a decent brand swivel, (SAMPO comes to mind)main line to swivel then your wire. You didnt state if it was multi strand or single strand wire.Multistrand use again, good brand crimps,(with a good crimper, and perhaps 2 x crimps) if single strand wire, use a haywire twist..A hint for the multi strand wire, if you make a loop , then go back around that loop a few times, looks like an 'unpulled' knot then crimpHope this helps......

tassieflyer 27 Posted October 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 i have no idea how big i want to catch i have only ever got them as a by catch but i got a 24kg o/h rod and a tld50 so i am thinking i might as well try and find a decent size fish i was thinking a wind on might be what i need Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Crusher 18 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 50lb main line to 200lb mono leader the 200lb wire is what i run to my tld 25. The loop method that trihull mentioned will ensure that the knot does not come undone. then the old double crimp with one covering the end (tab) will stop accidental cuts to any mono. i often have 2 baits out. I use 2 x 8/0 or 1 x 10/0. the 2 x 8/0 for slender baits and then 1 x 10/0 for slab baits.my tld 25 holds enough 50lb mono to land anything SA has land based.enjoy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trihull 177 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 as long as when you put your baits out you dont say :c "We Need A Bigger Boat" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
