How do you tie a topwater lure on your line?

Obviously you people don't see the world the same way I do.

I would say after washing Tincan's truck bed out and dunping BD on the ramp at Aucilla....You statement would be correct

Uniknot on everything..only use a leader on flukes and a snell knot on offshore stuff...and yes I catch fish too

I think you have had one more than I have!!!!!!!

I use a loop knot on any inshore hard bait or jig anymore. Can't remember what it is called, but it is easy to tie and quick. I also use around 3 feet of 15-20# fluoro leader most of the time. That is when using braid or 10# mono though.

"Spanish and blues, Spanish and blues......" ahhhhh......I love that song


I use a modified trilene knot, 16-20" of 12-15 lb. floro leader w/ a triple surgeons knot...And have always heard not to use a loop knot on topwater....something to do with the action of the lure when there's a tight connection w/ the main line against a free moving knot on the main line....don't know if any of it's true.....but that's what they say....



whoever the h@ll they are....

I'm not sure what it's called but you loop the line through the eye an wrap it around like you were going to do a uniknot but then put the tag end through the top loop and pull UP. For topwater I usally put a coulple half-hitchs on the end.
Hope this helps.

I've got to agree with Lit on this .
