  1. I know I just learned to tie this knot and probably shouldn't be giving out tip's but here's one anyway,  After sliding the mono in and butting it up to the lead, I put a small drop of superglue on the jacket where they meet.  It soaks thru the jacket and onto the mono and lead and holds them firmly in place while you snug up the overhand knot.  I also put a drop on the end of the jacket to keep it from fraying.

  2. What is a good way to tie leadcore to mono.  I know that you are supposed to pull the jacket back about 6 inches and pinch off the lead, then thread the mono/fluorocarbon into the hollow jacket.  Yeah right like that's going to happen! I've been trying to get that sucker in there for 3 hrs and it ain't happening so there has to be another way.  I tried a blood knot but the mono pulled thru.  Any ideas ?

  3. Awesome boat! I saw your add and had to respond. I have the exact same boat and it's setup pretty much the same same way right down to the 3 pc. windshield. Mine's an 88' with a 350 (3300 hr's) w/ 4 cannons. I think you and me are the only one's out there with Challenger's. Even Billy V. had one to start. They are great fishing boats with alota room. Same boat as a Contender but without the heavy hardtop. Had mine for 3 yrs. and put on 300+ hrs. a yr. I think it's a steal at 9 G. Someone's gona get themselves a real nice boat. Good luck
