That is extremely helpfull.... Thank you everyone for the help I'm glad to see how welcoming this forum is ... Good to see no one bashing any body , everyone just trying to lend a hand
That sounds exactly how I want to try fishing a slider.... I just didn't understand how the clip would release from the main line to slide being so close to it .... I'm assuming now the jolt of a strike is enough to pop it free
I have read a lot of info on this and still am a little unsure of how it works .... I am mainly interested in fixing a slider to my main line with an off shore release or the like, what I don't understand is how does the clip release when a fish hits with such a small distance between it , the end of the slider leader and the main line ? I'm assuming you would use a pinch pad style release so the slider actually could slide down the line after a hook up. Or does that stay in place all the while I am fighting a fish and I just reel that up till the fish is in the net .... Thanks for the advice in advance.
I have two ,what I believe to be, Victrolla trolling boxes. They are a little rough around the edges but I have no use for them so make me an offer . Pictures can be posted upon request
