Lead Core Line???

[GLF]

What knot is everyone using to attach the lead core to the super lines. Willis knot?

Willis for mono backing & leader.

If you coat the last 3 inches of braid with head cement,let it stiffen up,makes it easier to thread into the outer sheath of the core.

You mentioned mono, but then talk about super line. I assume you are using the willis knot for the super line also?

Correct,after head cementing

Steve Arend came up with a GREAT IDEA for threading braids into the dacron backing. Use a small sewing needle...works great...and you don't have to wait for the glue to dry...And by the way Elmers glue the old fashion white stuff...works good to if you decide to go that way.

EDIT: PS. If you are tying the willis knot with super lines use a DOUBLE willis knot. Basically the same thing only use two of the overhands.
