GLF Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 What knot is everyone using to attach the lead core to the super lines. Willis knot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkeinMachine Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Willis for mono backing & leader.If you coat the last 3 inches of braid with head cement,let it stiffen up,makes it easier to thread into the outer sheath of the core.H.I.H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you are using the willis knot for the super line also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixshooter Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Steve Arend came up with a GREAT IDEA for threading braids into the dacron backing. Use a small sewing needle...works great...and you don't have to wait for the glue to dry...And by the way Elmers glue the old fashion white stuff...works good to if you decide to go that way.EDIT: PS. If you are tying the willis knot with super lines use a DOUBLE willis knot. Basically the same thing only use two of the overhands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
