Thread: Proper way to rig spinning lures

Lure have a natural action I've heard it all now

Leader??? Crikey, I've been hooking straight onto my 4lb fireline without any issues, it's the light charcoal neutral colour. Mostly use the good ole' Black Toby in the Canterbury streams. I do use a straight through leader on the Tassie Devil though, have them individually rigged ready to go.
There's some good info here that I must take note of

Fg knot yes it's hard deal with it and learn the best knot. Even harder with tiny line, I fish 4lb braid and 10lb leader I like a leader of around 500ish long use a uni knot to tie on spinner as you will have direct contact with the lure to feel what it's doing and be able to control it's actions!!

Its easy to tie really, just OTT on small stuff

Nope too big.... you want very very small and barrel style as the trout will see your wire of the snap and too close to the lure. Rapala knot is the way to go on fluro unless its dark brackish or peaty water - Then drennan subsurface green mono is the go to or copper coloured mono's that are availble.

you might get the young dumb silly trout on a snap swivel but you won't get the big ones...
