Wire to Mono/Floro

[fish whistle]

Looking to set up a couple more slide diver rods..

I have always run slide divers on 20lb mono and have had good luck

with them but I wanna run a couple with wire..

I plan on having about 30-40 feet of mono/floro leader attached to the wire

and was wondering the best way to attach the two?

I plan on clamping the slide diver down on the mono/floro leader so

a swivel could be used but I was wondering if there are any knots that

anyone uses to join them?  Just looking to get more depth with long leads to lure..

Thanks....Dan

We use the albright to join Leader to wire. The Leader is what we twist around the wire that is bent back. Make sure it's a clean knot and you should be fine.

I use a small spro swivel and a crimp for the wire , 50' of 35# big game . Another spro then my leader, oh I also use heat shrink on the wire connection.

We use a  spro swivel tied as described on LOTSA.  With the abrasive nature of wire, I would not trust a wire to mono connection.  Quality swivels are cheap compared to losing a diver and lure.  Not saying the Albright knot wouldn't work,  but I've seen what wire does to mono and just don't trust that connection.

We put mono backing on our wire reels that need it to ensure the wire fills the spool all the way.  Connection is made with a nail knot.  There is a video on the Fish Doctor site on how we tie it.

I use this knot on my downriggers tied to my black's release 16lbs. torpedos haven't broken them yet. Never failed in the past 3 years but always check your connections!

 

I usually always have a downrigger or 2 when chasing walleye, salmon, or trout and this is from April till late september.

Dan, I do the same with a couple wire slide divers and add about 40ft of mono. The connection would be an Albright knot for me, and a small clear bead at the leader and have had good results.

thanks for the info guys,i like the pics and video of the wire knot for terminal tackle.

I think I am gonna try the Albright knot,i used that knot before with leadcore and always worked fine.

but like some of you I am a little leary about the wire mono connection, as long as I re-tie after

a few fish it should all work out..

if these rods had roller tips I would go with a swivel for sure...I like the shrinkwrap idea...
