slider rig vs. snafu

[dfish28]

No sharpie here either but have seen the wear from the slider hook and always play the - how many more can I get on this rig... If he gets away...he gets away. But have been thinking of something on that sliding hook like some kind of fishfinder like setup might help,chafing gear of some sorts but then the too much jewelry comes into play, then I say f$?k it and fish.

Thanks for all the input. I understand that the snafu can break as well but you don't have another hook rubbing on the leader. Also with the snafu....if one side breaks off the other hook is still snelled to a leader.

Try using Ande line instead of Sufix mono, From what I have been told and from my experience Sufix line breaks and chafes off way too easily.

Ditto on that Ande over Suffix !

This discussion called for a trip to the laboratory. Why choose? I'll try the slider/snafu on the J2 tomorrow.

I have seen that slider rig j hook a fish on more then one time. I stick to one hook all these fancy rigs keep it simple. I have tried them with some success but I like 1 hook better.

Certainly the very good guys can catch even if they use a hanger as a hook
