>>2646502help me understand shock leaders
>are they worth it?>should they be long enough to actually wind in the reel?>if so, then wouldn't knot between the leader and the main line slow down the cast when it tries to get free from the reel?>should i also use a another tackle leader after the shock leader? I live in a coastal mediteranean city with no lakes or rivers so i mostly fish from the beach, but haven't had much luck with my 4.2 meter, 100-250 gram telescoping surf rod. I was thinking of changing to a 3 meter two piece 10-50 gram rod instead.
what would you recommend?
