I use these for attaching my leader to my line. They are cheap, super quick, don't affect casting, and they slide through the rod guides easily.

Just be glad that most leaders and lines now already have loops in them. Nail knots and perfection loops aren't much fun.

I used to use the loop to loop connections, but that was before I discovered those connectors I just posted. The connectors are sleeker and I feel like they don't hinge as much.

I like the Double Uni knot for tying leaders together.

True dat, you guys talking about knots and integrity etc. I have lost a few because my knot wasn't worth shit. It happens from time to time, fishing late etc. But I've probably lost more fish on snags and impatience
![]() Also, when I go to a new area I shop for flies there. That way I don't have to research what the hell the fish in that area feed on. I enjoy talking with local fly fishermen too, so it's always a great experience shopping for flies. Also, there are some really great craftsmen in some areas that make incredible flies, sometimes I meet them in the shops by chance and it's great just listening to them talk about the materials they use to make their flies and all that kind of stuff. I missed fly fishing this season, I like stream fishing in high country. I will get out there next spring.

Pretty interesting how the Palomar knot works well with a lot of mono but is horrible for braided lines.

I used to love fishing when I was younger, but lost track of it over the years. Trying to get back into it now, but I'm way behind the curve. Suggestions on how to get past the "beginner" stage? I know enough to be dangerous, but not enough to be successful on my own.
I'm contemplating a fishing kayak, though I haven't figured out how to haul it around yet - my bimmer coupe doesn't quite fit the bill, lol... |
