Mono is the go bro save your dough... you knowI have been experimenting with paternoster rigs. My main line is braid. I have tried a few things. I am not really happy with any leaders I have tried.
- Black Magic seems to stretch as you tie a knot (even just a uni-knot) despite copient lubrication. I am sure this reduces it's strength. Makes it curly and causes more tangles because of that.
- Rovex is quite thick, and seems to work for heavy lines, but the thinner stuff stretches a bit as you tie the knots, like Black Magic. The thickness makes it hard to push the paternoster loop through the eye of hooks.
- FC Rock. Best of the three in terms of stretching, and thinner than the Rovex. Very springy and hard to handle when trying to tie a new rig in an awkward spot in wind at night etc.
So, maybe I should just go back to mono-filament, but thought I'd ask others opinions?
