LimpNoodle Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Heavy braid is normally used. Similar to the Gamakatsu 510 assist hooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robalo01 Posted October 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Stretcher, is this the braid? http://www.ebay.com/itm/FREE-SHIPPING-100ft-250lb-Braided-Kevlar-Line-for-Fishing-Camping-Kite-Flying-/280891893387?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item416676268b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretcher66 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 that is it, i actually end up straightening hooks like 5/0 octopus hooks before that will ever break. get stainless steel welded rings to tie the assist hooks to, and tie your line from your rod and reel to the same ring. that way if you get a large enough fish to straighten the split ring, you are still hooked to the fish on the solid ring. http://www.ebay.com/itm/30-PCS-STAINLESS-STEEL-WELDED-SOLID-RING-6-5mm-I-D-200-LBS-TEST-/151431166886?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2342003ba6 Here is a good video for it, this is exactly how i tie them and i have never had one break or come untied.

mark poulson Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 That looks like the perfect line for a lure retriever. You could tie it off to a cleat, and haul the whole tree up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasilofchrisn Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 I use 200# and 300# Kevlar assist line from western filament.I buy it in 100' spools. I use Eagle Claw straight shank hooks. I tie them then add a drop of super glue and then some heat shrink tubing. They are really easy to tie. secure them to solid rings then split rings attach it to the jigs.
