tom - whatd i tell you on friday

dunno whatchoo told tom on friday but they now have the mono wind-ons in the clearance section online too

i picked up a couple cuz i don't have any clear 500# mono but i'm having too much fun making my own wind-ons now...... but for 200# wind-ons and smaller going for less than 10 buck$ that'd make for some pretty cheap spares IMO

i know their 80# fluoro stood up to triple digit YFT just fine

Oh, at first I thought you meant British Petroleum - and it is true that nearly all fishing line is made from refinery goodies.

Just my thoughts about wind ons. When on the water I need to be able to retie quickly when cut; and if adding mono or flouro, I need to do it fast when the bite is on.
I haven't purchased any wind ons and don't plan to use them for bottom fishing in the future as I have 2 connections that always work for me.
I use a PR knot when tieing at home and if cut short on the water I add leader with a Red Phillips knot.
Why spend the dollars for a wind on leader?
Maybe I am missing something and should be enlightened.
Do tell.........

On 99% of the fish people catch it may not matter. But on the 1% of trophy fish that you catch, the extra gaurantee of strength matters a lot when you look back at the success of the year overall.

Does one or two fish make a difference? Yep, sometimes they do.

I have said this before, but there is not a knot that can be tied that is stronger than a windon. Its taken the tuna guys a while to come around, but they are there now.
