Mono - barrell swivel - mono leader - swivel - lure?
HB2 replied to Bustersit's topic in Tackle and Techniques
To each his own I guess, Never really saw the need as an Albright knot is very strong and can't remember it ever breaking. I use it for all my fishing tying 2 lines together . 0 problems . I trust my knots . The less to fail the better IMO . I figure if it ain't broke ,don't fix it . I see no advantage. I use to use micro swivel for fly tippet and float fishing but one day I ran out And was forced to use an Albright , and never went back . Line twist is never a problem for me .Flashers come with BB swivel and I have one on the rod so that's double protection. For my riggers I run the 30 # main and a 25 ft tippet of 17 or 20# which is my usual lead from release . -

Albright 100% mono to mono . Why would you use a swivel ? -

I have 2 . They are adequate IMO . But I sure do like my 47 H s for riggers . If it were me and I was going to add a diver it would be a slide diver . For flashers , a reg dipsy is good but for spoons , I do better with a length between the diver and spoon . Wire to 30 to 40 ft of 30# mono , bead , small swivel , 6 ft 15# to 20# Flouro or mono , ball bearing snap , lure .diver goes on 30# section . I substitute braid , but I do well with this setup , especially on slow days .

The water was high and cold. If you fall in over your head , the cold will shock you pretty good . If there is current and you don't know what to do and panic , I could see it happening . I parked at Mr Salmons and walked down the Cliff to the Archers hole . I tripped on a branch and fell in over my head . I can still remember the shock of how cold the water was. It was 20 deg that day . I left immediately and by the time I climbed out and got back to the truck, my clothes were frozen . With the we amount of traffic on the streams in the winter , I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often .

I originally posted this thread to explore if all the water made for more nutrients in the water as I saw more green water this year since the mid 80s. I'm not a hydrologist, and everyone's data may or may not be true . I just want to know if everything that can be done is being done to lower the lake level . And my gut tells me it's not .

A guy drowned ?

If it were not for Jack , how bad would they be . A few more trades and an attitude adjustment . This team is not tough enough .
