Fishing Line Knots Braid To Mono
How to use spiderwire?
I’ve been having trouble with some big redfish. The hole has pilings on three sides and a rocky bank on the fourth. Needless to say, I have to hoss the fish off the pilings, but sometimes I’m not quick enough and the line frays or pops. I’ve left so many hooks in big reds it should be a crime.
It was suggested that I use spiderwire. My rod maxes 12lbs and I’m using a Penn spinner that maxes 10lbs. I normally use 8lb test line w/ 25lb test leader. I like the lighter gear and a Carolina rig. Do I need mono or braided spiderwire? What test? What knot on the swivel?
I told the man at the tackle shop my problem and this is exactly what he did. He put the leader on for me, but didn’t have time to teach me the knot. Just hope I don’t get hung up!
Use any of the super lines in at least 20lb test. You’ll need to back the reel with a bit of mono like 20 yds or so to keep the super line from spinning on the reel. Use fluorocarbon for your leader in the 25lb you have been using.
Berkley and Spider wire have examples of knots to use on their websites.
