slip lead 862 Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 You won't something that's going to brake if it gets caught round the dogs legs, something thats to strong will cut to the bone. A brick line as already said but not the nylon tipe. Quote Link to post

dabigmc 23 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Well iv Ben using it for over 2 years on mine and had no problems! But each to their own I suppose! Quote Link to post
jwhizz420 177 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 And it knots like a wrong on, if your dog gets tangled in it and carry on running and the spool locks up, will cut to bone , promise ya, cause it's do strong and thin Quote Link to post

dabigmc 23 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Jwhizz420, I'm guessing u have used braid urself then, to have encountered such devasting consequences? Mayb, how I use my lure to the way you use yours is different? IMO the basic principle is to keep the lure infront of the dogs, and run it off at the last minute at an amost 90% angle, resulting in the dogs going straight on and the lure running safely and controlled under a piece if old carpet??? well this is how I use mine! Anyway, like I said, I have done this without any fatal or crippling effects for Over 2 years...so I must be very lucky! Quote Link to post
jwhizz420 177 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Wrap some round ya hands and try to snap it, it will cut you before it breaks, use what ever ya want , just given my advice as a experience angler . Please do it , let me know how ya get on , Quote Link to post
