Wire line trolling
Yesterday I took some time to peel off thirty or fourty yards of wire from my trolling rig and found a kink - one that I probably could have lived with but I cut it out anyway. I spliced in a low profile swivel using haywire twists on either side. I only just started working with wire and was looking for any tips for making these connections easier or better - especially getting the tag end folded in tight to the running line. I also am not sure if I got the haywire twist down right - I just looped the wire through the eye of the swivel and wrapped six or eight turns around the running line tight...
Any suggestions or comments would be welcomed.
