Teakle's Tackle Talks- BEST Tapered Shockleader Knot

Jansen shows us how to tie a really effective shockleader knot in a tapered leader.

Great knot..been using these leaders for couple weeks or so now brilliant and its about time a manufacturer made a tapered leader to 100lb as some of us need to fish big leads on some occasions!

How does the strength of the spider hitch compare to the allbright knot which is the knot i prefer as with a tapered leader you have only one knot and is very compact and i find it a very strong knot but am always willing to try different variations

[@MartinGrindell]

hi jansen can you tell me when i put shockleader, attaching it to my 30lb mono line how much of it should i wind on and what strength would you recommend thanks martin in hull.

[@michaelsmith9408]

That is a doubled up 3 turn water knot, would a figure of 8 loop be stronger and smaller?

[@fishingsquaduk1251]

Cheers for that 👍👍

Great video! Not quite the knot I was expecting, I’ve not long gotten myself some of this leader to go with the 20lb Varivas Green Sport, and used a double uni to attach it. Will have to give the knot a try! I’m guessing there’s no trouble with the loop catching during the cast using a fixed spool?

What do u call the line holder on ur reel??

Nice video 🐟👏

Thank you team VMO and Jansen for the demonstration on this knot to leader.

Ive been using Asso tapered leaders for a while, I trim a bit off the length as you did in this video, but have been tying them onto my mainline with a simple blood knot which hasnt let me down yet.

Great video, just getting back into fishing after a break of 20+ years and suffering a heart attack last year, plenty of time on my hands now that I've also retired.

[@andyhill8312]

Great video, I'm just getting back into beach fishing and was wondering what was best, A tapered shock leader vs none tapered?

[@jeanlucoliver1151]

Good video. Very interesting

[@paulpaula2011]

I always like your videos, so thank you... but why have 2 knots & a loop travelling through the rings, when a simple double uni is so small & strong, and up there with the strength of allbright, this also looks tricker to tie. I appreciate this is a heavy shock leader, but have you seen this -
