FLUROCARBON

[j_s]

That's the knot I use Common 40, what about the knot for tieing the hair loop? This is where I have real problems be it mono or fluro, using coated braid it's fine but for some reason the loop knot won't tighten enough

[seph]

I use the knotless knot for hair rigs when using fluoro

[Common 40]

I just use a standard figure of 8 knot j_s slip the loop over a disgorger or simular and pull tight,and dont cut the tag end too short

i use tfg starving wippet 12lb for most of my hooklengths, fairly cheap if soursed from right place and always performs how u want it to frosty

as for flurocarbon, knotless with a few less turns, and a 3 turn grinner

 

when using GHOST i always leave my rigs stretched out, this then helps create a bit of a stiffy

whats amnesia again, iv forgotten

 

i also have trouble tying hair loops with mono/fluoro even if you can manage it they seem to come undone a session or two later.

What i do is tie the hooklength to the eye of the hook and tie piece of cottton to the shank of the hook for my hair.

Hi Steve

 

I was experimenting with that yesterday

[steve17]

yer its alright, i havent caught that many fish form using them though (cotton hairs), dont see why it would stop fish getting hooked though, tbh i use braid as and when i can.

 

will be spending much more time this year on mono's and fluoro's for hooklenghts so i think i just need to get out there and try them (as soon as the milder weather sets in)

Could always try much lower b/s mono.
