when spooling a reel with braid for jigging how long should the momo topshot be. And why is it necessary for momo or is it. It doesnt make sense to me to have a long topshot if it stretches so much or mono at all. I am planning on spooling an accurate 665 2 speed any suggestions
You need a mono top shot as a shock absorber, it doesnt however need to be long. My top shots are only 6' max
do you tie directly to the jig or use a swivel poot, I don't think of it so much as a top shot, but rather a leader that I replace when it gets too short. I tie straight to the jig and snip it off if I want to change it. I'm also learning to snip it off and retie it after every good bite
what knot do you use to tie to the jig Try going through the solid ring twice and using a Uni This demo only goes thru the eye once: How to tie a Uni knot
You should tie the leader to a solid ring, that solid ring goes into a split ring which attaches to the jig for quick change applications
