Know any good knots for tying leader line?

Post by SenorCommando »

Does any body know a good knot for leader line that won't twist or kink the line? So far I've been using an improved clinch knot and it normally twists the line whenever I try to tie a knot. Any tips would help, Thanx

What exactly are you trying to tie? Leader to main line, or your leader to your hook/swivel/lure?

If you are using lures like a x rap or spoon you need to use a swivel. This will prevent your line from twisting. No knot will prevent your line from twisting.
