Thank u for this video and many others. Always a pleasure to watch and learn. Makes perfect sense what youve said. I have never slid a dead bait out using braid...but i have with live bait. I found that using the weighted slide...rebending the slide closer to spring and being more gentle on the shake works well.
Did you ever think of rubber coating or heat shrink tube the coil/s on the slider to see if it works on braid? Either the 1st coil at the front or last one at the back or all of them. Ever use 2 rods to run sliders? One as an anchor rod that you run the slider down and use a breakaway as some use on downriggers and planerboards the other as the bait/fighting rod. Here in the US I fish for Catfish and been thinking of trying the slider in wide rivers (some over a mile wide) and also been thinking there has to be some way to use 2 rods with one as an anchor rod.
This is why Rudolph gets the big money! I'm keen to try sliding mainly because of my age and a bum elbow and shoulder limits my ability to cast big baits long distances, but I don't know that I would have been able to figure that out on my own without a lot of trial and error. Please keep the tips coming because even old dogs can learn new tricks. Cheers
*Have used the braided line for several years **enjoyable.fishing** recommend both for salmon in the summer as well as walleye through the ice. Can’t beat it for the price!*
Been doing this for around 4 years now, i just build up the knot after finishing off the fg and haven't had and issue with it getting caught on the fg but you can not let the line ever go even a little slack because brade has no memory so it will tangle and not reach your sinker if you have slack line

Good informative video, exactly what I was looking for. Think I’ll leave sliding for the minute and stick with a balloon !

Thx for the video
Lockdown level 3 and still no fishing
Muy bueno... Pero faltarian subtitular los vídeos
Thanks, also if you have a longish shock leader the non return slide will start working once it gets there?
Nice technique, well where i got that tool any recommendation thk
eBay, very cheap
If one should slide on braid, should one prefer a 8strand over a 4brand braid? Or will 4strand do the job?
I prefer 8 stand because its more smooth but braid must be abit thick
Thanks
How does it slide over your leader knot eg FG knot ?
