Yes - if you use thin braid you risk it slicing through the fluoro leader. Its not the best idea for SW fly fishing either - but that's another story...comming from the swff world and new to the lure,
Does anyone join their leader to braid by using the loop to loop system?
Is it a bad idea?
Yes thought that may be the case, I always use that system for ff , but as you say that's another story.Yes - if you use thin braid you risk it slicing through the fluoro leader. Its not the best idea for SW fly fishing either - but that's another story...
Ahhh... Bimini.... such fun!!!If your going to use loop to loop connections for anything in saltwater (ie fish that fight) then bimini the braid, the twist the loop, about 100 times, the tye a uni knot in it, this gives a thicker loop in the braid, and reduces the chances of cutting through your loop. Also worth mentioning that braided mono loops (50lb test version) double nail knotted and then coated in Aquasure. Will form a loop to loop system that will even handle tuna/marlin.
