solopaddler Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Some of you guys may know this, I'm sure many of you don't, but Fidel (Highdrifter on the board) makes and sells some really nice fluoro pike and musky leaders. What's different about his, instead of simply tying or crimping the hardware on he actually takes the time to tie a nail knot then coats the knot with something (not sure what?). I have another big trip coming up really soon and placed a rush order with him. He had them all made to my spec's and shipped to my door within 3 days and for an incredibly good price. Just wanted to say thanks my friend, you really came through for me! Here's hoping I can put them to good use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highdrifter Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Thanks guys. Mike, you've always come through for me so this was a no-brainer. Feels good when chats turn into hook-ups, gear and craft are shared, and things come full circle. Mark, you my homebrew!! cheers HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highdrifter Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 lets see some pics. what type of hardware and leader material? Fluoro is seagar blue label. Loops are secured using 100lb braid and binded with brute force and a hardner. Hardware is string-ease stay-lock snaps and swivels. I'll send some pics later. cheers HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
