Oh, and it becomes even a tard more finicky when a swivle is dangling in the way  When I tighten up the knot I have a little cup with warm water with some washing up soap mixed in or I use white vaseline. (some tips Ive gathered from the deepsea anglers here) Ive also used a splint (like the ones you have on your propellers) when I was out in the field and couldnt find the piece of tube. Michael | |||

(some tips Ive gathered from the deepsea anglers here) Good tip! I tie 200# fluorocarbon leaders and use a perfection loop. Make the loop, put it over something (I use a smooth peg bolted into my work bench, a small dab of super glue on the knot and lean back pulling the knot tight. For pulling back, wrap the leader around something - ie. a hammer handle - to help give you a little extra force to cinch the knot down. I usually leave a long tag end at the swivel because when done right the tag end sticks out sideways and will act as a bit of a weed catcher. | ||
