Lost 3 plugs, two real nice ones one night in rhody in a large surf. The bowling ball size boulders in the wash were getting tossed around and as the line (50 pp) went slack as the wash pushed the line up on the beach, the boulders would roll across and cut it. I still use 50 pp on spinners and 80- whiplash on my 7000 Abus (almost out though  ) |
No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

leader connection thru the guides
Hey Guys,
I just spooled up my spare spool with PP to try on my shimona stradic. Mine broke off too going thru the guides. Maybe it was my knot, I tied a reverse albright, maybe I didnt tie a good enough knot.
Anyone using PP on spinning have success with this? Which know do you use.
Thanks, Jeff

I recently read a post/article and starting using improved clinch knots for braid. No problems, easy to use.

fish4- try using a swivel then 3' of leader material. I found no matter how well you tie a knot to leader material it will hit one of the guides. causing the braid to kick back and slow your cast down or worse. the braid is what you want flying through your guides.

why are you guys reeling the knot through the guides? I typically use a swivell, but sometims uni-uni, however in both circumstances, I never reel either through the eye, and if by mistake I do, I ease it back out. I typically use a 3-5 foot flouro leader, 30/40/50 test depending. At night i always use the swivell, that way i can here it go through the guide, although I usually have a prety good idea where it is.

Jigging I use about 8ft of 40lb mono connect to an albright with 50lb PP, rarely have a problem with the albright; again throwing convench;
Lately out of laziness I've beeing doing the swivel and leaver again, but prefer the longer leader, gives me lots of cut-back room after fish on rough bottom...

On braid , you need about 18 to 20 turns of the braid around the mono leader on the albright. If you use 12 turns which is pretty standard for mono to mono , the braid will slip. An alternative if you only want the samaller knot with 12 turns is to superglue the knot afterwards. i use 18 turns when I use the albright. Since i broke my finger , I have trouble doing the albright so i have switched to opposing uni knots.
