Hi ted

as you say, shorter lines means less tangles. When I dive shallow, either inside or just off the surf zone, I dive with a 5m bungee and a small float. this works really well cause the float is always close so the waves catch it less often and if you do shoot a big fish, the bungee can stretch to 20m giving you space to play it.

cheers

Doing high angle rescue work I learned that we use the figure eight exclusively for anchors and life support because it Is the knot that reduces the strength of the rope the least, a Bowline removes about 30% of your rated capacity a figure eight something like 14% this is why I use a figure eight follow thru on all of my line. To tie this just put an eight into the line pass it thru what ever you’re tying to and then follow the line back around the opposite direction you made the initial eight. As long as you put the lode bearing side of this knot (the loop) on the inside it will be very easy to untie.

Remember the four essential qualities of a good not
1 easy to tie
2 easy to untie
3 easy to identify
4 dose not significantly reduce the strength of the rope or line.

Hey Mark, can get another photo like this one in a larger size or resolution? My eyes are tired... and cannot see the loops very well when you enlarge it.

TIA and Cheers

Hi Bill, what brand/spec crimper is this one? And where can it be found?

Cheers

[Bill McIntyre]

Its a Centro CH-30, and I got it from a big game fishing store in Newport Beach. I think I've seen it in on-line catalogs.

PS: I'm leaving for surgery on my shoulder in a few minutes, so my next posts will be delayed and may not make much sense before the general anesthetic wears off.

How do you tie the mono with the Whipping technique? I saw the pictures but haven't seen the process explained. Did I miss it?

To mount that omer reel you can get a bracket from omer that you can screw into the riffe. I would not recommend using wood screws, but getting the metal inserts that you can thread machine screw into put on the gun so you never strip the wood. I am not sure where you can get them, but I would like to know.
