snelling with wire
Submitted by bloodysmythe on Sat, 2012-05-19 15:30
i read an article on ballooning, and the rig they had used 4 hooks snelled on 49 strand wire.
they didnt have a pic of it and im just wondering how its done with the wire,
does it work just the same as mono, you push it through the eye twice n wind it up???
at work so havnt been able to get my gear out and try it yet
thanks for any info

yh its the exact same
yh its the exact same concept as with mono, just a bit harder to get started.
I used 150lb lock weld wire, snell 2-3 hooks, then melt the wire in the snell but make sure your pulling on the rig when melting as it will tighten up a bit more.
