leaders, crimps, snaps and such.....
bobcat replied to bobcat's topic in Musky, Tiger Musky & Pike (ESOX)
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 -

What size do you like? Are you tying them or crimping? Sent from my LG-H820 using Lake Ontario United mobile app -
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

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

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.

Tying a flouro leader to braid (casting)
bobcat replied to justtracytrolling's topic in Bass Fishing
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 -

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 -

bobcat replied to justtracytrolling's topic in Bass Fishing
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.

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 -

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
