thanks Will, Marc
I was just using 15 & 20lb mono to practice with before attacking my actual fishing lines and leaders. Yup, too thin for the task.
I use the Leeda selecta leaders; not sure of actual butt diameter, but they claim to be 50% bigger then everyone else's butt, dontcha know!
Does anyone treat the finished nail knot with any glue type product, either to add strength or just to make the whole knot smooth?
i,
had a couple of failures with minicon connectors this year, so time for a change. Both times it was my fly lines being used by someone else, oddly. not had one fail while I was playing fish myself
