Bimini Twist vs Leader

[alloffroad]

Hi all,

I need some help with knots...if I understand it, the bimini twist is a other form of leader.... then I use something like a Palomar knot to tie the lure on?

Is the bimini twist that much better than a normal leader tied in with a uni knot?

Or do I have it all wrong:doh

And it's off shore boat fishing...trolling and baited

Thanks

alloffroad, check our knots section uner the FAQ and articles. As I understand it the bimini and catspaw retain 100% of line strength.

Hi
Bemini twist is not the leader by itself, just a very strong way to attach your leader to your main line

Hi Ghost

But what I do not understand is the knot between the bimini twist and the leader will still be weak...so why the bimini?

Thanks

Okay I see the bimini twist is part of the Yucatan. And the Yucatan is line to leader

Thanks
