Kelvin 2,200 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Double your main line, Bimini twist, then loop to loop on the wind on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny Rotten 0 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 without being critical,and an innocent question,because I've never used / seen one,is a loop to loop ok,or more a "cat's paw" type knot where you pass one through the other several times to even out the load.......I think sometimes referred to as an "offshore" knot as well....

fishnfreak 0 Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Still gotta use wire boys, the 400lb leader is used as a shock absorber, for abrasion resistance, and as a safer way to trace them at boatside Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fullysikwog 6 Posted January 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 yer i know man, thats wat i meant, i got the 400lb leader then wirecheers FSW Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tythataussieguy 0 Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 I have never used these myself but black magic have pre made leaders specifically for sharks. Cant say who stocks them because it is not a sponsor store but yeah I hear they are good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
