I have been having problems with my hands tying in the cold, looking to make it a little easier for me to get out.
Thanks for any input.
I use breakaways most of the time. dropper loop off leader(60lb) and for my breakaway I use 40, with a loop to connect to dropper loop, and loop at the bottom for the sinker with an overhand knot inbetween the two loops. that way I have a straight connection to my hook from braid to topshot to leader. I generally only use this for blackfishing. hope this helps!
