One of my mates uses this on bigger goldhead type lures and claims it helps them swim better.

Anyone else believe that or use it much ?

Wouldn't think it makes any difference for trout considering how thin and supple leader is.

I have used it in the past on flies and find it only makes a difference if using thick lines. The smaller diameter lines (such as the excellent ASSO) should not require it.


I use it extensively when chucking plugs and it is a good knot as it negates using a snap swivel which I dislike on smaller plugs and in general as I feel it creates too much slack to work well with a snap-wristed retrieve.


Hope that helps

Concur with Benjamin - the perfect knot when salmon fishing and using say 15lb bs Maxima with smaller doubles or trebles.

Tenet

ps - could be ok with tying droppers on when fishing a team of buzzers even if you are using Asso!

would that be Angler B he is a bank international you know

Yup, Angler B, really rates it as does my boat partner in the match on Brenig, who was using it on his point booby.
