Howdy all. I've never met a line a couldn't loop... Well, I hadn't run across one until today. Windcutter 10/11/12. I was cutting tip 2 into two sections as riveraddict suggests to build a skagit line, and when I went to put on my standard homemade bluewater loops I've been using as long as I can remember, I ran into a problem. The 50 lb braided mono I use wouldn't pass over the line!
I did a search and ran across Juro's loop, which also asks the mono to slide over the line, but with only a little mod, I made it work for me using my old school northern california steelhead shooting head techniques using thread and pliobond instead of Juro's mono and auquaseal.
So while in the short term I have things in hand, I'm hoping someone has some advice for me as I will soon be building a line with an even FATTER belly!
