Flurorcarbon rig

[MikeyP]

Hi all, I'm fishing at Clawford Vineyard at begining of June and according to their rules, you can only use a braided hooklink if there is a six inch piece of tubing at the hook! Been there a couple of times before and this is a new one one me. What I'm after is a a decent flurocarbon rig for fishing bottom baits. Also, I've been trying a few knots out with my fluoro and have found that a palomar knot is the best for tying to hooks/swivels. Is this knot the most reliable? Thanks

Why not just use a 'normal' rig that you use with braid with the line ? I guess it depends on it's stiffness and length you're going to use. If it's a stiff line then I tend to use a stiff rig set up (at least at the hook end, where it will be pretty inflexible.

P.S. Don't forget 'normal' mono as well, especially if you want a more supple hooklength.

I like the palomar with fluoro line.

Been using flurocarbon hooklinks for all my fishing over here in France for close on 5 years now. I always use the grinner and have never had a problem. The important thing is the choice of line as many flurocarbons tend to be very unreliable (Berkeley Vanish in particular) so I have been on X. line and rate it very highly.
