TACKLE TUESDAY: Leader Lines | a dive into the options of leaders for all aspects of fishing🎣

[@benico341]

I’m honestly a sponge to these videos the combination of knowledge you’re getting from Don and Deano is top tier . I learn something from these every single time I say that very sincerely 💪🏻thanks .

[@untraceablefishing]

So glad you’re getting some insight and knowledge from 2 very seasoned anglers🎣🤙🏻

[@leonlategan1911]

Excellent show guys!

[@untraceablefishing]

Glad you’re enjoying them🔥🎣❤️

[@lyleyoung6308]

Great Video.

[@untraceablefishing]

Thank you, Lyle🙏🏻🎣

[@simonmorris6338]

Good old Granny knots double up working well😊

[@untraceablefishing]

Good until you lose a big fish🤣

[@heinzventer5849]

Thanks for your swift reply. most appreciated

[@untraceablefishing]

🤙🏻🎣

[@ridzyacoob9188]

Excellent Videos..... Keep it up

[@untraceablefishing]

Thank you bud🎣

[@7bo7at7]

i fish for 30+kg fish down here in south western australia, and i use varivas ocean record shock leader at about 220lb breaking strain. but its really informative to see other approaches in other countries so thanks for this amazing content guys!

[@untraceablefishing]

Hey bud You’re fishing some serious stuff there🤯🤣🎣 So glad you enjoyed the content!

[@Chillfishinggeezer]

I live perth Australia and use Black magic supple leader. Superb line to tie knots with. Fluorocarbon line i use icon as 100% invisible. Fluorocarbon line i always tie extra twist to prevent the knot slipping. Great vid guys.😃

[@untraceablefishing]

Awesome that you’re tuning in from OZ🤙🏻🎣 damn you got some good spots so close around you that we would die to get to🤣 Thanks for the feedback🤙🏻

[@DarthSeanious]

I always use a double uni knot for my braid to leader. I can tie it easily and trust it. More wraps with the braid and less wraps with the leader. Always use a fluoro leader maybe its from bass fishing. I have 6 specific bass setups and use straight fluoro on my crank bait and jerkbait setups. Luckily baitcasters don't use a ton of line. Looking for a suggested fluoro leader lb for my new setup - Shimano Stradic 5000 Assassin Amia Zero 4 piece xh 11ft and 20lb JDB DNA braid. Fishing in Kzn mostly toti but down the south coast to Pumula and up towards bluff. I am thinking 20lb to 30lb leader but I don't want anything too thick as the DNA is very thin. Throwing Iron Candy, GT Icecream and Clone lures mostly

[@untraceablefishing]

It depends on the species targeted. Under say 2kg 20lb is fine, 5kg fish 30lb and 50lb for any gt or big mackerel

[@DarthSeanious]

Thank you

[@tonykruger871]

Being budget conscious like Don , I started using Berkley Big Game as my leader material . Not perfect but it worked

[@untraceablefishing]

I think a lot of guys go the budget option first (unless they are big spenders). I think it’s only when you lose a big fish, that your views change, and spending the extra money becomes an option.

[@henkvanrooyen5213]

I am a huge fan of Maxima ultragreen since forever. I have tried T-line and Kingfisher. after this episode, I would realy like to try the Areaty line. I like the JDB ultra tough braided leaders as well, but use them mainly off the beach or where the snags are less; as I tend to whine a bit having to re-ty braided leaders after loosing it in rocky areas. looking forward to visiting Bilimoria and Cintsa area in May.

[@untraceablefishing]

Hey Henk Looking forward to meeting you and having a throw🎣🤙🏻 Maxima will always be a great choice- no denying that. Araty is such an amazing product, and I don’t think we will shift from it- it’s been a bulletproof buy, and a leader we won’t go without! I hope the wallet is fully stocked for when you visit Bilimoria🤣🤣🤣

[@zamaleka1226]

Very informative. Thank you!

[@untraceablefishing]

Glad you enjoyed🤙🏻🎣

[@petershearing9878]

Thanks for some sound advice..

[@donczns]

We try, everyone has there own ideas around leaders, but nice to discuss options and hopefully help some anglers find what works for them personally

[@untraceablefishing]

Only a pleasure🤙🏻🎣

[@ZubairKhan-jd5op]

Really enjoyed listening to Don and his knowledge especially about the mono and fluorocarbon, he is right about a lot of the stuff, I have used Araty as a leader and landed a a big black tip kingfish on a live caranteen (stripey) of the bricks, but he was right it dose have alot of memory and Abit soft but ties good Knotts👍 I would say he was right also if it has any twists , nicks and grazes it's better to cut and tie a new piece👍 thanks guys, ohya please open a shop in Durban😁

[@untraceablefishing]

@@ZubairKhan-jd5op hey bud, thanks so much for the comment! You’re 100% right, Araty is some really good stuff! Fully endorsed by all of us!

[@stevebond9054]

Very informative, thanks.

[@DRMJVR10]

Keep it up really nice. Any chance of making a video with the best knots for main line to leader to trace and different option to make knots?

[@untraceablefishing]

Hey Fisho Give us a couple weeks🤙🏻 we busy setting up that we can really get involved and technical showing off these knots🎣

[@JPillay6684]

I also switched from Maxima leader to Araty. I couldn't believe how much better it was than Maxima and it's almost half the price.

[@untraceablefishing]

Maxima will always remain really good, let’s not take away from them. But Araty is really amazing stuff, and great value for money🎣

[@johannschonfeldt1474]

Let tell you guys a secret. Your first Bilmoria comp. It was first time ever fishing in the ocean, or as i say it "die dam wat die engelse gebou het". Im a vaalie as you guys mok me😂. Now im here in East London 10 years. That day i got 3 blue fish. Witch i think was not bad for the first try. It was funny when the first blue was landed i had to ask to a neighbor what kind of fish it was, the look i got😮😅... It was actually funny. But that is how you learn. Your videos help me a lot. Thank you for that.

[@untraceablefishing]

Hey Johann That’s awesome to hear that we inspired you to get a line wet in the ocean🎣🤣 3 blues on your first outing is damn excellent- you should be proud!!!! I hope you’re fishing on the 7th of April🤙🏻

[@johannschonfeldt1474]

@untraceablefishing HI, yes I'm thinking about it, very strongly. It will be a bit off a challenge for me, I don't know these types of fish. And to be honest, I'm kak scared of 🦈 sharks. What will happen when I get one on the line. Boet, I'm running the marathon in double time . What Billmoria branch are you guys from.

[@untraceablefishing]

@@johannschonfeldt1474 no man, you must not be scared of sharks- especially a spotted gulley. We aren’t at any branch bud, we operate out the East Coast. But visit both stores weekly, and have this Tackle Tuesday segment which we film weekly. I think fishing these comps is aimed at people just like you- it’s to target and try educate on these species🤙🏻🎣 Consider it, you won’t be sorry!

[@johannschonfeldt1474]

@untraceablefishing Thank you. I will consider it very strongly. You guys talk a lot of Bricks, what is it.

[@untraceablefishing]

@@johannschonfeldt1474 rocks🤣

[@heinzventer5849]

Hi Guys Thanks for the info. Please can you make a cheat sheet so we can quickly refer to it re lines, braided leaders and the mono. Heinz

[@untraceablefishing]

Hey Heinz I’ll do so🤙🏻🎣

[@untraceablefishing]

Hey Heinz Have added that in for you🙏🏻

[@heinzventer5849]

What is your take on Perlon braid?

[@untraceablefishing]

@@heinzventer5849​​⁠the Perline stuff is not bad at all. We have used it in the past, but prefer boss and Grinder as “entry” level braids.

[@donczns]

Busy testing some 30lb on my lure casting setup, only one 3hour session so far, initial impressions no wind knots, fairly thin but not as thin as claimed, feels a hint rough in its finished, to me a good test is after 6 to 12months of abuse, thats what seperates braid from great braid, watch this space for an update.@@heinzventer5849

[@MatthewR992]

Are you going to go after shad this winter?????

[@untraceablefishing]

Always bud- Deans favourite thing to catch🤣

[@alucardhellsing1037]

In my opinion T Line is the only line manufactured in South Africa and is one of the strongest. Been using it over a decade now.

[@untraceablefishing]

No denying it’s good stuff- but try the Araty, you won’t be sorry🤙🏻👌🏻

[@untraceablefishing]

No denying it’s good stuff, but give Araty a try… you won’t be sorry🤙🏻👌🏻

[@stevebond9054]

Great content. But, maybe I’m missing something. Braid is spooled essentially for a longer cast but then if you add a leader onto the spool then distance must be compromised. I just use a 0,6 or 0,7 mono or fluoro for about 1m from the braid. Is my application wrong? I have used a braid leader but then chucked it in. Area I fish is mainly rocks.

[@untraceablefishing]

No, your application is 100% correct. This is your drop- and you are correct there! If you use a braided leader (braid), you can push 6-8m and then again, use a mono/fluoro drop of 1-1.5m. Hope this makes sense🎣

[@LEGENDARY-j9p]

How zit fishos 😊 please next video please do a review on the horizon 7 15 ft please like distance its able to cast size baits strength please bru

[@untraceablefishing]

Hey fisho. I think we will get to the assassin rods in a couple episodes- we have a couple lined up before then🤙🏻

[@philipsnyman1407]

I just buy the cheapest one that isn't totally like weedwacker line😢 student budget struggles

[@untraceablefishing]

Totally understandable bud🎣🤙🏻 We use T-Line for sinker snoot and Araty for hook snoot. So we use a cheaper and more expensive set up. It may cost a bit over R100 for the hook snoot, but well worth it and you’ll have it for a long time!

[@brunomahle1618]

how hard is it to talk one at a time?

[@donczns]

We try our best, but banter is good

[@untraceablefishing]

As Don said, banter is good🤙🏻 we prefer it to be a little more informal🎣

[@clintonjacobson3282]

40 pound maxima on a 6.5 inch kp. 13 foot stick and throw close. No way you can loose

[@untraceablefishing]

100% bud🤙🏻🎣
