So i tied the amnesia to a chod hook using a knotless knot and a figure of eight at the other end , best i could get was 15 lb , some went at hook some went at figure of eight end , not that i'dcexert 15lbs pressure with a rod so im fairly happy with that

If you're happy, your happy

I'd be trying a different knot, but I like wasting yards of material for no good reason Last night I was looking up how to tie a grinner for a repeatable a fixed length hooklink, also if there are any longer loop typers then the Stonfo one I use...keeps the old grey matter alive I guess

Bothers me when you see matchmans fixed length hooklink boxes...all perfect in a row, exactly the same size...I need rig tying ststion...but I won't forgo my tag ends...oh no

Sonik Ultrasonic Snood is a cheap sal****er leader material available in different diameters. There is also the sal****er mono from Sonik in clear.
No experience on these sorry but being sal****er lines the assumption is they cannot be bad for leaders. Should also be easily available contrary to the Daiwa line.

Other than that I am just using 0,38 oder more so the 0,45mm (25lbs) Berkley Big Game in green or clear. Very cheap and it has never let me down either as mainline or as leader for decades.
