    Small snap?

    thanks i will try them.
  2. What knot do you use for heavy fluro ? For my surf leaders with 50lb mono I use a 3 turn clinch. That's why i was thinking about going with crimps because I use heavy stuff in surf and for shark leaders I have been closing crimps with a hammer. A lot if the stripper guys on the surf are running crimped gear. I thought maybe it would be good for musky leaders too. Sent from my LG-H820 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  3. What size do you like? Are you tying them or crimping? Sent from my LG-H820 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Small snap?

    I was thinking about the vmc crank bait snap but have never used them . Sent from my LG-H820 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  5. Where we fish there are tiger musky. I mostly fish for tigers while the wife fishes for bass. I run tieable steel or heavy fluro leader. My wife runs mostly senkos. I make her run a 30lb fluro just in case of a tiger but she has trouble tying knots with it when she wants to switch lures. Is there a small snap that will work for her so she can swap out hooks and lures on her own without tying? Sent from my LG-H820 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  6. leaders, crimps, snaps and such..... I am going to get a crimper and make some fluro and wire leaders. Does anyone use the Hi-seas mini double barrel copper crimps? Any suggestions on snaps? I use spro swivels.
  7. Is there a new summary of the rules for us newbees? The ones on the web page dont reflect the changes.
  8. Cant wait to meet some of you fellers. Hope to have my camper on the lake by then!
  9. I wonder if it will work to tie on coated wire. Then if you have a follow right at boat you would have more control with the lure closer to the rod tip on a figure 8. Sent from my LG-H820 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  10. Looks simple enough. I may use this on my surf tackle in place of the Albright. Sent from my LG-H820 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  11. Justin put me onto 30lb seaguar last season . it worked really well but when I was casting for tigers exclusively I switched to toothy critter wire. Only because my wife got bit off on the flouro with a sinko. I still run the flouro when bass fishing and my wife uses it for bass and tigers. I just fell more comfortable with the wire and I put a snap on the end because of switching lures so much. But if targeting bass that 30lb Seagaur is good lure insurance.

  12. I like the Albright knot and use it for tying my surf casting shock leaders to my main line. If I have time and setting gear up (not in the boat) I will use it. Other than that for speed and ease I use a swivel. Maybe I will look into this other knot. Sent from my LG-H820 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

  14. Ya my kid has a rotory fly vise. I made a few up. Its fun but this weekend the musky don't like them near as much as I do.... Sent from my LG-H820 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  15. Question on sizing.. A mepps 5 is 1/2 oz. A blue fox 6 is 5/8 oz.... So if I'm ordering 1/2 oz spinner bodies is that the actual weight of the body or the body for that size spinner? Sent from my LG-H820 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  16. I'm toying with the idea of making my own inline spinners. Do any of you guys do it? Cost effective? Or just rewarding catching them on something you made yourself? Sent from my LG-H820 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  17. Sorry for interrupting you guys but am I reading something wrong? Or is it only 36 in to keep a tiger in otisco? Not that I'm looking to keep one. (I have when they don't look good like Justin's) but I want to make sure I know the regulation for that lake. Some one mentioned about the beautiful fish that kid caught being barely legal? ://www.google.com Sent from my LG-H820 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
