Super Line Question

[PurpleHaZe]

Need some advise. I picked up some New line to try out, I think its 832 suffix? I will be using it on my jigging pole, its 6lb 2lb diameter. The water I fish is stained, ok heres the question I was going to tie directly to the jig no leader, Is this what everyone else does? thanks for your time.

Should be fine, I fish 10/4 in hi vis without a leader in the river with good success. It never hurts to experiment though.

I tie a fluoro leader on my super lines when I jig fish. May not be as big a deal in stained. I plan to pick up 832 this year too.

What do you superline veterans use for knots? I always use the Trilene knot with mono, but I've been reading that lots of people use a palomar with superline.

Thoughts? Experiences? Advice?

[Nick Kuhn]

Palomar or improved clinch.

[BartmanMN]

I use Uni to Uni to connect Fluoro to Braid. And I use Palomar to connect to terminal tackle.

I've had improved clinch knots pull out. I switched to the Palomar and haven't had a problem since (with super line).

If you want to add a leader, I would recommend any back to back knot like a Uni-Uni for connecting the leader material to the super line. I've tried knots like the Albright knot and had problems with the small diameter super line cutting through the mono/fluoro.

What he said.

I'd tie on a flouro leader to start the day. May not be needed but isn't going to hurt anything as long as you have a good uni to uni knot.

Tie direct, the Palomar know is good choice.

My rule for fluorocarbon leaders is this. The longer a fish has to stare down a bait, the more likely a fluorocarbon leader may be beneficial.

If your jig, or crank, or spinner is on the move a fish has very little time to stare at anything and ponder if it's Bogus or not, they need to react now.

So if your slip bobber fishing or Lindy Rigging, then low vis may be benificial...not so much when casting jigs or cranks.

i use trilene knot with power pro, fireline or 832. never had a problem.

i actually call it an "improved" trilene knot cause i run the tag end back through the loop like an improved cinch knot.

You will really like that Suffix 832. I ran it last winter and now this spring and Im switching over most of my rods to it. Very smooth and consistant and casts very well. Spendy but I think its worth it.

I tie direct in the waters we have around here but in clear waters I run a 2 or 3' "shocker" leader of floro tied with back to back uni knots.
