luke_westlakes 4 Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 mickyj, where still trying to figure that one out, when we had them eating bread on the surface it was after an old lady had been feeding the ducks and there was tons of left over bread on the surface... I have accidently hooked one before and that seemed to scare them off... hehehe Quote Link to post Share on other sites

luke_westlakes 4 Posted October 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 mc your crazy, 2lb , i was having a hard time trying to tie the hook to the line with 4lb without braking it, lol ;D ;D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coonta kinta 1 Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Luke dumb question, but are u lubricating the knotts? Used to use 1kg Chamelion and found it to be quite strong for knotting. Unlike 1kg Pretest which was crap after a short time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
luke_westlakes 4 Posted October 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 hay ck, i was just wetting the line when i was tieing my knotts, the main problem is when u tie the 4lb to the braid, the braid cuts the leader like a pair of siccors!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coonta kinta 1 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Ah I see. U guys do it differently to me. If I was fishing light, its my main line that is light, tied to a heavier leader and then my trace.Probably harder the way u do it coz there'd be less stretch and forgiveness in the line. So your captures on light tackle are probably more noteworthy.Luke what if you tie the leader to the braid instead of teh other way? Assuming u use an albright, wrap the mono around the braid instead of the braid around the mono? Or does the braid pull through on account of its finish?Does that make sense?

luke_westlakes 4 Posted October 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 hay ck, i might try that idea, where u tie the leader to the braid, i usually tie the braid to the leader cos that makes the knot smallercheers for the help.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coonta kinta 1 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 I do to Luke, that is I wrap the braid around the loop in the mono, but if this is cutting the mono leader perhaps doing the other way, looping the braid and wraping the leader will see a better result for you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mullies_chaser 0 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 I've tried it a while ago and it just slips for me, I fish 2lb. Mainline straight through to the hook, not worrying too much about leaders and crap for carp. Ha Re arrange the R and the A from Carp and you get Crap. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brenton 637 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Tried that Smiley knot chaps,i,m using in a 6 lb leader and its been great and easy to tie as its only 1 uni. cheers brenton Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Ciaravolo 34 Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Its a tricky one fellas, but if ya use a uni or smileys knot, ya might be able to double over the braid before tying, this will make it thicker and reduce the tension on any one particular point on the mono. Its a bit tricky to tie, but if ya lay it flat it should tie up ok. Just a thought.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
