Reminder to Retie Those Knots

[Thumper]

i agree with numbskull and everyone else, if you tie at home and are confident in your knots you should be fine. if for some reason something happens to the leader and i have to retie i just cut it off and put on a brandy new one and tie a palomor. its not that i cant tie at night in the dark with a light its just the fact that it can be a pain in the a** and i dont feel like dealing with it.

I make up my leaders at home while watching the tube, coil them, stick them in my bag, and never worry about being ready if a leader gets damaged while fishing. Tip- use one of these below to pull your knots rather than risk damaging the line or harware by holding it with pliers. The swivel will just slide over the tip of the coastlock, so no need to even open or close it.

If the business end of my leader gets knicked by a blue or rock I will snip off a few inches and retie to my Breakaway clip, but only if I will lose a 1/4 of my leader or less.

Hope this helps,

Jon
