I use swivels on all mono set ups Cam. I use a pr on kingi set up and that knot i drew that picture of for softbait setup. Whats a double overhand look like?

Yeah light line up to 80lb. I make all my dropper rigs with 4 fig 8s. Never had on pop yet. Those dumb dropper knots just pull tight against the hook with a big enough fish

Ive had only a few clinch knots fail but agree with everything else. Ive had a fair few uni knots fail. For a loop i tie a dirty figure 8. Surprisingly strong. Yip copper for steel as i said

So pr or fg braid to mono, whatever length trace you want, clinch to ring, add split ring and assist to ring. Then swap jigs by swapping them off the split ring. No need to take split ring off just...

If its for jigging you wont need a swivel just a hearty stainless ring that the assist hook and split ring attach to. Id just do a clinch knot with 8-10 wraps

All for game traces use knots for mainline to swivel etc

You can get ally or copper?brass crimps from most fishing shops. You just match the crimp to the mono size or copper for steel wire. I crimp starting at one end if the crimp turning it 180 degrees...

Get a crimping set up bro, you'll need it sooner or later. I crimp everything down to 100lb if its a trace and even then it gets hard tying some knots. I do tie clinch knots on 180 leaders sometimes...

Funny, wonder if its called the Rapala knot? :P ...
