so if I understand, it's braid to swivel to mono leader the another swivel and quick clip?  sorry, but I'm a bit of a dummy, and never been fishing with someone that could show me a proper set up. Thanks |

Its a personal preference on leaders and how you attach them, some choose to swivel at the juncture, however if you want to run a longer leader say fishing for tuna where the mono or floro are going to end up on your spool then a swivel will not do, thus part of the purpose of this post.
However i tie my leader to my braid and then use a tsunami 75# swivel.
However if you want to get into the discussion if a swivel is necessary, i would say no and its a old habit / and full mono thought process that is hard to break imho.

Learned a new connection the other week down in Hatteras. It is the improved blood knot. It doubles the strength of the braid at the knot. I was taught 5 wraps of the thin line and 3 with the leader. It makes a tapered knot, which helps it go smoothly through the guides. After a few tries, it is really simple to tie.
Not exactly the order I was taught it in, but results look the same.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.
