>>2651407I also lost a jig and then later caught it back
>pic related>>2651410Thank you
>>2651461>>>2651461>should they be long enough to actually wind in the reel?Theres literally no reason to have it otherwise
>are they worth it?Situational what are you casting
>>2651461>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?Some but use of slim knots like the Albright for mono-mono of FG plait for braid-mono mitigate it. Besides, half the shock leader is out of the rod already when you cast, it doesn't have a lot of time to fuck anything up.
>>2651461>>should i also use a another tackle leader after the shock leader?Situational. Are there toothy critters waiting to bite through your mono? A steel leader might be worth while, otherwise meh
>>2651486Oh yeah it's right around the corner. Some people are pulling strays but not enough of them for me to actively switch to them yet.
>>2651541In a vague sense. A white paddle tail is something I'd use on either, but my travel telescopic spinning rod would have smaller ones than what I'd bring with my MH baitcasting setup with 40lb braid.
>inb4 bfsToo niche, you can't compare a 500 dollar bfs setup to a telescopic spin rod from Amazon and go 'see look same lures' for the same reason I'm not going on about 10 inch musky swimbaits being inappropriate for that spinning setup
>>2651551Yikes
Your sacrifice to Poseidon surely does not go unnoticed
