Dacron or Spectra for Wind On Leaders - Page 2

Interesting to say the least - any thoughts as to why it works for the West Coast guys, are you building them differently. As far as I know - which I admit I dont know everything - there arent but so many ways to do make wind-ons.

I appreiciate everyones feedback on this.

I use the spectra and have yet to have a problem. Don't make them myself, but use basil's topshots and wind-ons. He uses JB hollow spectra. It is available up to 1,000#.

You can always put the mono thru a section of dacron/spectra before tying the bimini, sorta like a chafe/cut guard on your mono loop.
