Braid vs Mono Leader off the planer
Just finding going making use of my yozuri – ten.5 diving board (comparable to a planer). I run it off a winch (like a huge handline with a drag, made by alvey) and will operate on a planer rod deal when i get to store in Oz in September for some 200# braid…none on Nauru.
Anyway I had a query about leaders off the back of the DB/Planer.
Has any person seen a variation amongst mono vs dacron in hookup achievement and hook penetration???
Been reading through a number of Capt. Fred Archer publications about Wahoo fishing etc and he suggests a Dacron Hammer for plugs etc as the lack of stretch in dacron signifies the hookset is very good as opposed to the stretch in mono meaning that the hookup aint so excellent. I had been working a 30m leader of 80lb mono leader off the DB, but chaged more than to 30m of 130lb dacron to see if the hookup is better…
The DB has not usually popped up or been triggered with a strike, and off the winch i do not really see or experience the bite…so the other day the drag went on the winch, which i imagined was just b/c i sped up the boat abit or it came abit unfastened, only to locate that when i obtained property the halco 7m diver i had on the DB had one of the trebles bent out. This had me pondering that there was not sufficient give in the setup (clearly i need to function on the winch drag and set it much better), and it’s possible a mono leader would be abit more forgiving for a DB novice like me. The regional fishermen on Nauru operate Diving Boards, usually with diving lures guiding them for wahoo and tuna (primarily halco lazer Pro 2m divers) with no wire or cable. Their leader lengths fluctuate at about 20m at a guess.
I’ve experimented with a gar fish/ballyhoo off the DB without any hits so far…but i’m positive my rigging wants work. Also experimented with a number of drone spoons on SS wire (espresso coloured…sorry box 🙂 ) without any bites. So much the best DB producers have been large Halco rattle traps, and 2m and 7m divers…nevertheless lots to be figured out.
Searching ahead to ur input and planer wisdom.
