Not a problem. Let us know how it goes, if you still cant get it, we'll take somemore steps so that you do.

Just make a simple loop in your wire line. Youll have the tag end and the mainline between your thumb and forefinger. A loop should extend out one end and the tag end and mainline out the other. Now, simply insert the loop into the eye of the swivel. Once passed through the eye of the swivel, pass the entire swivel through the wire loop and cinch the wire down to the swivel eye. This is a half hitch. At this point if you held the main line in one hand and applied pressure to the swivel the wire would slip through the swivel eye and it would disconnect from the wire line. Thats why you need to tie an overhand knot in the next step to secure the half hitch. After youve half hitched the swivel onto the wire line you should have the tag end and mainline together and the swivel hanging below. Now, think of the tag end, the mainline and the swivel as being a single strand of rope and your going to tie an overhand knot in it. Simply take the tag end and mainline together and from a loop. Next pass the swivel through the back side of the loop and cinch it down making a simple overhand knot. This should result in an overhand knot above the swivel. Trim the excess tag end above the knot and your finished. Hopefully i didnt confuse you even more. Check the link again and i think itll come together for ya. If not ill shoot a little video for you. This has been a very strong connection for me and i havent had any issues with it. I love not having to have crimping tools and crimps on board to make a connection. A good pair of side cutters on quality needlenose will do the work and is probably something you already have on board. Nailer, Let us all know how that 19 strand works out. I read about that on another site and am curious about how it performs. Supposed to be much more flexable/kink resistant than the 7 strand.

Sounds like succsess....Great job bro!

Great fish guys and some good eats too...Cant beat them coho on the grill!!!

Nice job Jay...Way to thrash em!

Thanks Mike. Im sure theres some other gobble hunters on here that would be interested as well. Judging by the new avatar, id say you had a good weekend on the water.

It seems that their efforts are targeted towards restoration of natural species. So, ales and salmon are not a top priority on huron. For example, the lack of alewives has directly impacted the walleye populations in lake huron because the Y.O.Y. walleye arent being preyed apon by adult alewives. Even perch benefit from the lack of their presence. Unfortunately other species of salmon and trout have suffered in their absense. Hopefully a solution to the bait issues isnt far off. I would love to see upper lake huron be the fishery it was when i was a younger.

...a 2009 turkey contest this year? Seasons only 9 days off now. Would have gotten in last year, but i didnt realize there was a contest until i was too late....DOH!!!

Hey Botlman, www.photobucket.com is very easy to use when it comes to adding pics to a post. Get a free account, upload your pics to the site, then copy and paste the code in your post where youd like it to appear. Resizing is easily done there as well. Never used the sites pic hostings, so im not sure how it works. Have tried on other sites and have found photobucket easier, so i just use that. Im sure Mike has a tutorial on pic posting somewhere though.

Well lets see them pics!

Great job....That steelhead is gorgeous!:D:cool:

SLOW DAY....Ive seen fishing allot worse than that!!!...Nice job guys.

Nice work out there.

Thanks again for all the suggestions...and keep em coming.
