    Struggled to tie the first one in practice, but found the second one really simple! Managed to land a 10lb mirror (my PB) the other day using this knot. I appreciate there are other things to take into consideration, but this is the knot I used to tie my mainline onto the hair rigs swivel and it proved successful! Thanks again 😊

    Hello this is a great video. Very informative. I am a saltwater angler from Sri Lanka. I always wated to do away most of hardware in front of the lure. I am currently using a heavy fluro instead of wire trace we used to have in fear of losing lures to macs and kudas. For the convinience of changing lures what if i have a strong split ring instead of snaplock end of the fluro so that i can change lures using a plier. Its not as easy as using a snaplock but eliminates having too many hardware. What are my chances of damaging line with split ring end? Thanks heaps for very useful tips

    Mr Joshua, I use a swivel whenever I use an inline spinner, example; rooster tail. I'd like to know if these knots are effective with braid. I am SURE about them with mono. Great tutorial, both simple and explained in an easier way than I have used. Thank You for the lesson! I SURE WISH you would go back to sleep so you can dream some more!!! lol God Bless ✝ and👍👍👍👍👍

    • @Saltyscales
      @Saltyscales  6 років тому +2

      Dino Harrison the clinch knot has additional step needed to make sure it doesn't slip, you have to run the line through the swivel eyelet twice and then tie.

    Thanks for this! Would you be able to tie a palomar on the other side though?

    • @richardpeterson3753
      @richardpeterson3753 3 роки тому

      yes.typically you do the leader side first,then attach that to the main line but it can be tricky as your pulling the whole leader through the polymer knot.in this case,switch to the uni knot,same strength knot and interchangable with a ploymar.

    • @richardpeterson3753
      @richardpeterson3753 3 роки тому

      take a Kentucky rig,I would start with a poly on the sinker,then a poly on the hook,then figure 8 there for a six to 8 inch leader for that hook,then poly to a swivel.from here,you can then poly the mainline to that same swivel,but your pulling sinker,leader and hook through the loop.so here,you can just uni the mainline to the swivel.

    • @richardpeterson3753
      @richardpeterson3753 3 роки тому

      basically,learn both the uni and ploymar.those 2 will meet litterally 98-99% of all your fishing needs lol.there will be very few exceptions,like a bobber stop knot or snelling a hook.even tying on jigs and cranks can be done by a uni variant resulting in a loop knot.and line to line connections are done by uni.list is endless lol.2 knots to rule them all.uni and polymer.know them and your set for life

  • @eatmelily
    @eatmelily 6 років тому +1

    How do you guys deal with Micro guides, using swivels? As someone who strictly fishes from the bank, I'm usually hampered because of trees and such, from having my bait hanging very far from the tip of my rod when I'm casting. I can't do a 30" leader when I'm casting, and most of my rods have micro guides, plus the tip being small anyway. I'm paranoid about breaking guides in the heat of excitement, hence I never use a leader, and it's probably affecting my catch count....

    • @Saltyscales
      @Saltyscales  6 років тому +1

      Sonny Dryer Honestly, I never use swivels with micro guides.

    • @eatmelily
      @eatmelily 6 років тому

      Thanks Joshua. I have about half my rods with braid on them, and then the other half with Mono or Flouro, so I never worry about leader too much. I should probably just pick a good flouro to braid knot, and try that on a couple to see if it actually makes a difference for me... Thanks again for the Reply and for the video.....

    I was wondering about the snap swivel. How do you connect it all? Do you have snap to snap, like a double swivel? The instructions only says that it's "so easy to switch your lure with a snap swivel", can't seem to find any place that shows me just how to connect it all
