Are slip knots secure?

Using the slip knot is a convenient way to temporarily secure items while transitioning from belay to anchor, however, do not use the slip knot to secure an anchor or belay. Make sure you attach items correctly so the knot does not pull out. The slip knot will pull through (untie) when pulled by one end of the rope.

How long should a leader be on braided line?

Although there’s not an exact science for the ideal leader length, I typically use leaders between 13″ – 26″.

Should your leader be stronger than your main line?

Leader is usually thicker and stronger than your main line. The length of leader will vary depending on what you’re doing. When throwing lures, you want a shorter leader so it doesn’t impede you from casting far (1-2ft). When using live bait, the decision is up to you.

Do I need a leader on braided line?

The simple answer is that when you’re using braided line you should use a leader 90% of the time. Braid has a lot of benefits such as casting distance, strength, and sensitivity. That being said, it also isn’t the best to tie to your lure because it’s fairly easy to see in the water.

Should I use braid or mono?

Mono holds knots better and costs less than braid. It also works better on smaller bait-casting reels because light braid can dig into itself. “If the middle or long bait goes off and that fish goes screaming through the inside bait or across the down-current baits, a braided line would cut off those lines,” he says.
