Speckledtroutfish Posted December 27, 2024 Report Share Posted December 27, 2024 Hoping for help finding a material to replace the braided line. Maybe a thin durable mesh that won’t instantly absorb a clear coat. Tying and gluing the braid to the wire is a pain. Vudu Shad lures might have the material I’m looking for if anyone can identify. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21xdc Posted December 27, 2024 Report Share Posted December 27, 2024 (edited) Small beaded chain? https://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Necklace-Bulk-Matching-Connectors/dp/B0BHJ5YPSM?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&smid=A27A1HCJFP5W8D&gQT=1&th=1 Edited December 27, 2024 by 21xdc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speckledtroutfish Posted December 27, 2024 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2024 Bait is 4 inches. I use it for speckled trout and red drum. The drum max out around 20lbs. All saltwater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted December 27, 2024 Report Share Posted December 27, 2024 Maybe try coating the braid that will be expose with something before you pour, like oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastman03 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Possibly some of the leader wire you can tie? Still might be a hassle to set up. Might work alright? https://www.fishonestop.com/cproduct/728/#10-124lb-toothproof-stainless-steel-single-strand-leader-1|4lb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21xdc Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 All of the weight of the fish will be on the hook, not the bead chain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
