Hey guys..Question for you DIY guys out there.
What do you suggest using when making Fluorocarbon leaders? I have a few hard wire leaders and thinking about cutting off the swivel and snaps. I would like to know length, perferred brand names and type of Knot. Also had a question if i should use super glue on the knot. Also seen Muskie innovations' leaders has (what i think) is rubber around the knot. Would a shrink tube around the knot help?
Thanks in advance guys!

Location: Yahara River Chain		I would like to know length,
Any length you want.

perferred brand names
Stealth

and type of Knot.
Palomar up to 80# test. Anything heavier & its hard to tighten down

Also had a question if i should use super glue on the knot.
No you don't need to. make sure you get it tight

If you do lots of weed fishing. Some trollers leave a tag end sticking out to catch weeds that come down the line. Most times you don't need it and do you really want to heat up a line that was made by heat?
