Hey mate read ya bio and congrats, seen you haven't posted a new video latley, if things are still all good, you be keen on going out for a fish sometime?

[@carmenliew4865]

great vid. whats the setup for second egg?

[@fisherhunter66]

Great vid. Given the short distance from the braid to the leader to the swivel (2 inches) how come you don't tie the braid directly to the swivel. Also what fluoro do you like. I have had problems with breaks at leader braid junction with black magic but I use a uni to uni knot so will switch to your knot it looks better. Thanks again

[@downsouthfishing-nz6061]

Hey mate thanks. I just prefer fluoro to swivel. I don't really trust a straight braid to swivel knot. I use the shimano Ocea Leader. I've played around with a few different knots uni to uni, FG and a few others and have now settled with the alberto. It's faster and easier to tie then the FG. The slim profile is a lot nicer to go through the guides.

Just about to do some online ordering. Do you prefer the sinkers with the wire out the ends or the ones with the slip thingy attacher? There's quite a range of weights available are there particular weights you tend to use mostly?

[@downsouthfishing-nz6061]

I find the Sinkers without the wire are easier to feel the bottom of the canal but can be a hassle to tie and they can snag more often. The ones with the wire are easier to tie but can be a bit harder to feel the bottom. I just have a mixer of the both. Weight all depends on the flow. I'd say mostly I'd use the mid three weights the most but I've also had to go the lightest you can get or the heaviest when the canal is flowing hard. You can never go wrong with a good mixture of gear

[@fisherhunter66]

cheers guess I'll cough for a few of each type

[@alanreid2648]

What length is the Fluor from the swivel to the egg approx ?

[@downsouthfishing-nz6061]

Around 5-6ft depends on the rod I am using
