Question about stealth leaders.


Recommended Posts

I have not used or even seen up close a stealth musky fluoro leader. My understanding is that there is a nail not followed by a crimp. Based on my understanding and experience building leaders and rigs, I assume that one of the reasons there is a crimp is to keep the knot from slipping all the way to the end of the line. For example, if you were to catcha big fish, the crimp keeps the knot from slipping down tight on the hook or lure eye. I have made some leaders using this technique, and even when glued and tag end crimped, the knot still slides down the line when put under pressue. I am I doing something wrong?
