    Combi Rig - loop to loop or albrighton?

    When you tie the Nylon/Flouro loop, should a bit of tubing on first so u can cover the knot, as the soft braid loves to tangle in the tag end..

    Any right minded Barbel angler should abstain in these Acute conditions... they will still be there when the weather breaks and the O2 levels rise....I have seen it for myself, people literally killing a fish, just for the glory of a Facebook like or weighing a fish to log it, with total...

    Braid choice for hooklinks

    Quite an interesting thread lads... for combilinks I have for a few years used Korda supernatural in 18 and 25lb. Knots really well and very smooth when tightening up. I have always used Sunline FC Sniper in 20lb to attach my braid combilink to 0.37mm. I always cover the knot in tungsten tubing...

    Shimano Thunnus 6000.

    I got all mine from different countries, Germany, Australia and the USA. Cheapest i got was £130 from the USA when the exchange rate was very good. A friend was in Orlando for a week and I emailed a shop to save me 2, so he could pick them up for me...
