Thanks,
Thanks, that would be great.
I tries the
Field Loop method shown on Dana's newsletter using 14lb Fireline. The fireline bit into the outer case of the line like I expected, but when I put a pen through the loop and put some (admittedly heavy) pressure on it to test it, it stripped the outer from the core and came undone. It would be a shame to lose a whole head in the river or possibly kill a fish needlessly by leaving a line trailing round after it.
I am considering stripping the case off the line for a couple of inches and just whip it, or possibly put a finer braided loop onto the exposed core, as this shouldn't be any thicker than the butt end of the head. Any more suggestions anyone?
I think I'll wait to see what Dana, Kush and Brian come up with first though, before I remove any more from the butt end of my new shooting head though!
