RaiderBoy 19 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) As some off you may know went fishing last week and there was one thing i forgot to add in the write up which was after a while in the water the hair rigs started coming out with knots along the length of the rig stopping at the lead clip and im just curious of how this may have been?. There are no crays in the water to mess about with the rig just plenty off roach and rudd? Richard Edited August 31, 2010 by RaiderBoy Quote Link to post

Richard usually happens on the cast when the hook link is to long and a cheap non coated braid is used,i would use the most expensive coated braid you can afford and just strip the outer coating off at the end for your knotless knot to the hook,the rest of the link will now stay slightly stiff,keep them short is the key imo and should easily overcome the problems your getting,also just feather the line down as you cast you want it dropping on the spot from above not just firing it in from your position if that makes sense Quote Link to post
