Thanks JM.....no criticism was intended, just looking for a reason why - to which you have responded.
Chris, any comments on the effect of twisted leaders on the presentation of lures - especially soft plastics?
Personally I have been using 80lb mono leaders when throwing soft plastics at barra and have not yet lost a fish (have come close though - the 104 in my avatar!). My son, who was using 60lb mono leader, lost a good fish at Mondy at the death when it chafed through the leader.........it was a big girl hooked deep and a long fight in open water.
Between us we have now caught 4 barra on plastics, just short of a kazillion!!
