For the canal i tie different than on the beach. On the beach I use an albright for the leader and a polamaron the terminal end.. For the canal , I once used an albright and a uni but now use opposing uni's and a uni. I have a hard time tying the polamar since I broke my index finger so where i need to do it often (canal) I use the easier opposing uni's.

In the canal , I want the jig to let go before the leader so i don't use the polamar. If I do , the leader know will let go. Either way I lose the jig but with the uni I don't have to retie the leader all the time.

On the beach , I want maximum breaking strength so I use the polamar .

My logic may be twisted but it makes me happy and keeps me thinking.
