Check this out for tying wire to hook. For joinin of leader to wire trace u could use the uni-uni joining which I post in the other thread.

Good job on the research, now u need a little of luck and perseverance under the hot sun. it'll strike when u least expected, keep trying.

Glad that u got it right, :p its a pretty reliable knot, best if you tie it before you go fishing. You could exclude swivel in this case if u decided to use one rig throughout the whole trip. This knot is also commonly used for jigging/luring. Err.. you should love the video, it teaches you well, no...

As requested,

To join main line(braided) to leader(mono)

The uni knot will be much easier and faster but not so reliable then fg.

Hi Crabber, Welcome to HLF too ~

I have not seen ppl use so many hooks to target todaks. 3-4 hooks are mostly used to target halfbeaks i guess? u can actually use them as bait, there are actually some fishes who takes them.

Yup. went fishing lately ?

Hi guitalk, welcome to Handlinefishing, any luring trips coming up?
Rgds, your friendly kaki from SJ ~

Hi Shrimp, from what i know, most ppl would use floater with size 8 hooks, rod would be noodle rods for todaks. They would let the floater drift along the current with live/dead tamban or prawn meat till around 90m or more with their bail arm opened. Not easy ya ?

Nice catch there MrTurtle, seems like u are a grouper killer.
Dont worry, theres always next time, then you'll be more well prepared and haul up more fishes
Care to share how was the fight for the tenggiri ?

So far from what i know, yes there is no LP reel that causes sound when line is pulled out(less on high drag). I'll update here if i found one

Regardless, all baitcasters have audible sound when line runs out under considerable speed and drag pressure. Just not very loud. For Eg, U can look at the youtube video posted by patrick2405's from duration (0.58-1.01). U could hear a little screaming sound, are you referring to that sound ? or do...

I'm also not a branded killer, neither do i have any stella or saltiga :p I only go for branded for heavy fishing, the low-end brands really tires me out or spoils easily. Canyon reel looks good, seems comparable to Avet reels, u need to try them to see if the reeling is as rough though. I specifica...
