acam1975 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Hi all, I have just purchased some switchblade lures for a fishing/camping weekend on the Hawkesbury, however i am unable to find any info on how to rig these. My rod is spooled with braid, do i need a mono leader, will i need a swivel etc All advice is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnno Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I use a fluro leader and tie straight to the little clip on the lure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkymalinky Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 G'day Acam1975. This lure's a Koolabung but the same basic idea... you can see the set up Johnno mentioned. Leader in this instance was 10lb fluorocarbon as I was fishing around some ugly oyster covered rocks and among snags. Hope it helps.

acam1975 Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 Thanks guys for your advice. Now one further question would i use a swivel to joing the fluro to the braid or use say a blood knot. Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinkymalinky Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 definitely not a swivel... a slender knot that will go easily through the guides when casting is what you want. Albright, double uni, slim beauty... something like that. Until you get used to the rig, try sticking with a double uni. That way, the one knot will work for you for leader to braid, leader to lure and just about anything else. Keep it simple. Cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northsider Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 NO SWIVEL!! ARE YOU A NUT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acam1975 Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 NO SWIVEL!! ARE YOU A NUT? Ha, Northsider. You are a funny man i do recall you were the one who insisted that i use a swivel. Must be all that salt spray has damaged your short term memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
