Triple fish leader and Octopus Hooks
I picked up some 50 # Triple Fish leader (not flouro) to rig for eels and herring. It seems ok but kinda soft. I use Seguar for plug leaders and have used it for eels but thought I would save a few bucks since it's not as important with live bait. Have you guys tried it? Whats the word?
Next, I have always snelled 7/0 Octopus hooks for herring fishing but last year I remember hearing (not from where) that the curve sets the hook better if they are not snelled. I'm starting to tie up my rigs and started to think about it. What's your opinion/ method? I'll hold off on the herring and tie up my plug and eel leaders until I get some input. Thanks
