Re: Shock leader
Ive always used the same leader knot that Roger tied, but with a spider hitch in the running line, same 5 turns on the uni end and its never let me down once, always thought "if its not broke why try to fix it"
John as you know, to small a guide and the tip action of some rods can play a part in the noise made by the knot, but I didnt like the look of that first knot.
