Hey Michael,



Good to have you here. Thanks for the info, also check out the Knots section, you will find stats on just how well different knots hold up,

Reefmans our resident guru, but him and a group of lucky buggers are at a social at Dunford:uzi

As Homie said our knot guru is currently on the beach. Lets leave the knots for him. As far as leader line goes there is no set rule. I for instance, when fishing for edibles only use my rod length, short drop ( tip to terminal tackle ) and 4 to 5 turns on my reel. When fishing for shark I will then use double my rod length as leader length.
