So no leader or lead core used? Just tied strait to mainline?

Yep, straight to the mainline. I usually put a couple of tungsten sinkers above to help sink the line near the rig. I tend to use them more for tench fishing.

Palomar knot for me as you can pass the loop right over the bag. Just be careful when tightening the knot down.

The best bit of advice that i can give you is stay away from the avid ones

Like almost everything that avid make they are dross. Ive had 4 go (from 3 different packs) all with fish on.

They either snap at the swivel or the swivel comes away from the wire in the stem

Utter garbage
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
