    A simple twist, huh? I'll have to look into this. I assumed braided required crimps. Thanks for the insight!

    The multi-strand wires only require a simple overhand or figure eight knot, snip the tag end and you're done!

    The "LY" are a great bait for Spanish and King mackerel. They can be caught with a sabiki rig or a ribbon net rig next to the pilings of the pier. A very economical way to have access to fresh live bait.

    I snobble a #1 or a #2 treble hook and under a cork I fish a #2 and I use a 8-10" twist wire for the leader, for Spanish I use a #4 with a 50lb 8" leader, now these are the words of my teachers and my own short experience
    I figure it this way, if everyone in the world had a lie clock, whose hands moved once every time they lied. You could use any politicians lie clock as a ceiling fan.
