my terminal hook runs like this.
100 feet of 30 lb mono backup line.
plimer knot to a manufactured fly line netted slip loop with shrink rap
- doual tapered flotation fly line} or {streight sinking fly line if I want to fish deep -
manufactured fly line netted slip loop with shrink rap
9 foot Tapered Tipet line. 4lb test.
{when I have used up the 4 pound test section of the tapered line I place on the clip. then a three foot section of straight 4 lb test multicolored natural.}
{when I add a splitshot I place it just below the loop side of my leader.}
Like I said I am a hack when it comes to tieing, so my hand tied loops lost me a lot of fish, this is why I went to the slip over loops... man what a life saver.
I also went to shorter tipet lines, from 12 foot to 9 foot, I figured that it made more sence to use tapered tipet line no longer than my 9 foot rod.
the metal clip dosnt get with in 5 feet of my rod end.
my loops seldom get with in a foot of my rod end eather.
