Re: Bucktail_Braid Question
 

The lighter the line the less weight you will need to hold bottom

I use 15lb and will hold with 4oz when my buddy fishing 40 or 50lb needs 8oz

I also use no terminal tackle all line to line knots

3' 30lb fluro leader

Re: Bucktail_Braid Question
 

So far I'm been catching fluke pretty good with following two setups.

20lb braid --> knot --> 3ft 30lb fluoro--> bucktail


--> 2-3ft 30lb fluoro --> two baited hooks 1inch apart
20lb braid --> 3way swivel
--> 1ft 10-20 lb mono to sinker

Last year I got more fluke on red hooks. Will try them again this year.

Re: Bucktail_Braid Question
 

15-20lb braid then an albright or uni knot to 4 foot of 20lb flouro. bigger bucktail on the bottom 1/4-2oz, any color will work as long as its white,glow, or chartreuse. have fun catching flat trash!

Re: Bucktail_Braid Question
 

I dont use any swivels or anything like that.. all line to line connections.. Tie my buck tail rig with a little extra line on it then attach to my braid via albright knot..

Re: Bucktail_Braid Question
 

No swivels here....braid to leader only. Shallow and not so sticky 20lb leader. If Im headed to Shrewsbury or really sticky stuff...40 or 50 leader. I use the Albright and double it back towards the leader with equal number of wraps. Havent lost one of those knots since I learned that one.
