b'tied using a PR knot and damage your guides.So, wind-ons help to eliminate this potential issue.I like using wind-on leaders for my heavier overhead combos when targeting tuna and kingfish, and to tie a wind-on leader you should use a Bimini Twist and Cats Paw knot, again Google these to watch and practise.TAPEREDIf you are a keen surfcaster, then you will know about the benefits of tapered leaders.Surfcasters have been using these specialist leaders for a long time, and I am a huge fan of using them as my shock leader on my fixed (spin) spool reel and taking on the surf.This monofilament line comes in 5 sections of 15m and the line gradually tapers up from 16lb (0.33mm) to 50lb (0.57mm) over the 15-20m length andBlack Magics new Wind-On Leader this gives a seamless transitionis the perfect option for live baiting, without a bulky knot from yourjigging or game fishing combos.Taking on kingfish with a Lanzamain line to act as a heavy shock jigging combo means goingleader at the end of your line.up to heaver 60lb+ leader. This is vital to function as a heavy shock leader to significantly reduce "bust-offs" when casting heavy 5-6oz sinkers and a bait out over 100m on the surf rod.There are many tapered lines on the market, but I have fished exclusively with Sunline Castest tapered lines which have proved to be a high-quality line made in Japan.Sunline products are manufactured using a water repellent resin processing which produces a stronger, smoother, longer lasting fishing line.Again, to tie the thinner 16lb (0.33mm) mono to the braid main line, I use the Allbright knot which gives a very tidy knot that is great for maximum casting.With the other end 50lb (0.57mm) tied to the swivel of the ledger rig using either a Uni or Improved Clinch knot. /FISHINGINGODZONE57'
