crazy ass fish and twisty leaders

so what a week , yea i ain't been blogging too much this week reason I've been pretty tied up updating websites and stuff that needs doing every now and again hell I've not really been tying flies either the chances of getting near water this week are near on impossible but there is light at the end of the tunnel hell yes my ever hard working Mrs is on her final exams (shes a mature student before you think about calling the cops) so that's going to be done and dusted this week .

which means I'm going to hit the water with some new design subbugs next week and i cant wait these are made to float above the bottom and i reckon fished slow they will be a killer on my local but on the plus side my enforced layoff from fishiness means i have been able to concentrate a bit more on my other hobby's of collecting plastic firearms and vintage guitars

----------------

my interest was sparked this week when i was doing a little research for something else i came across this great little site below and i have looked at these kind of leaders before but never really made any headway but my interest has been sparked because these guys obviously know what there doing and have been doing it for a great many years and that's something you cant argue about so click the picture below to go to there site and see what its all about

Twisted Leader
Large Mouth Bass to Tarpon and Sailfish ... A Fly Fishing Leader with a twist

-------------------

These "Big Game" Twisted Leaders have many applications for the saltwater fly fisher as well as for heavy duty freshwater use. Main advantages:

Extremely good turnover ... handles really large flies.
Shock absorbing qualities of helical twist construction ... lose fewer fish!
Strong and Durable ... the best choice for hard fighting fish and tough conditions.
Ideal for tarpon (babies to the big ones), peacock bass, stripers, redfish, snook, northern pike, large mouth bass, and many other species that demand a tough, great casting, shock absorbing leader. Even sailfish have been landed with this twisted leader.

The small fly in the photo to the right is a 3/0 Deceiver 5" in length. The larger flies are 8 - 9" long tied by Charlie Bisharat. It takes a Twisted Leader to turn these babies over!

Casts like a furled leader, but unlike furled leaders that are made with lightweight 2#, 4#, or 6# mono, these twisted leaders are constructed with heavier mono (20# test for most uses) resulting in a much stronger and more durable 'Big Game' leader.

Twisted leaders are inexpensive in the long run. For all but the largest and fastest species, these leaders last a long time with just tippet changes. Compare that to the longevity of a regular mono leader - no contest! Use sensibly ... inspect and replace after considerable use or catching large fish. If it shows wear, change it!
