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.

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.

Cheers, Slinky

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
