Not because I can't tie the knot in my sleep because I can now but because I kept on screwing up the talking part. Or the dog would walk up and whine in the middle!testflycarpinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01438987908906957352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4843098604080162796.post-17563459810948595522012-08-02T22:23:26.709-07:002012-08-02T22:23:26.709-07:00I used to tie my own leaders too Gregg.

All the knots down to the tippet can be surgeons with no risk of course. Its just the tippet knot that is in question and you might be pretty bullet proof at 1X in particular.testflycarpinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01438987908906957352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4843098604080162796.post-16171708565940827692012-08-02T21:13:05.393-07:002012-08-02T21:13:05.393-07:00Ok, I may have to give this thing a shot.

I do not doubt its efficacy. I use a triple surgeon's loop on a leader that began as a std. tapered leader that I modified with decreasing segments of tippet material, ending in .015-.017 Maxima. The tippet of 1X or 2X is also a attached with a tripple surgeon's loop as well. I have not lost a fish yet but have had the tippet fail to snags. When I find my 30lb. fish and lose it to a knot and not my stupidity I'll come back to this and do it right. That was a great video that explained it very well, glad it's here for reference.<br /><br />GreggGregghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02623587945737239141noreply@blogger.com
