awesome! what lb do u use?toporanger wrote:I use the knot 2 kinky stuff also when Im up north. I really like it for pitching jigs into reeds etc, I have caught some large pike on bass gear with no fear of cut offs or losing my jigs with this stuff. I dont do anything fancy with the knots really just treat it like thick flouro and its treated me well. I use a uni to uni for connections
great ill check that kind out too thanks!toporanger wrote:I just checked and actually last year on Leech Lake I was using this https://tuf-line.com/product/tuf-leader/ in 20 lb worked great with a uni to uni and a palomer knot on the lure
ok fantastic ill get the 12lb then. I was just not sure if it would be too thick thanks for the info!BucketHunter wrote:Lightest I could find for bass baits. 8-12 has all worked well for me in the past.
