Attaching a plug to your line....

How do you do it?

Ive been using 30lb ppro - then using a surgeons knot, i attach ~3' of 30lb leader material.... then usually use a 80lb breakaway.

(ive been using 60lb mono as a leader for jigging)

Seeing in the last two weeks, ive lost 3-4 fish that in my mind were definite trophys (granted only 1 seemed to break the leader) I have decided to reevaluate what I am doing from the ground up...

For starters.. I think I am moving to a 40lb leader. I am making sure my reel is completely lined.. - you know stuff that is pretty much brainless to do.

I have to think though that even though Ive lost a few, I must be doing something right somewhere because in years past, ive never even had the opportunities to lose the bigger ones.
