I started with jika rigs and then made my own 1 oz. Jika punch rigs. I have no use for a Tokyo rig. Seems like a fussy copy that does the same thing with way more expensive parts.
I destroyed myself for three days on an upper body fiasco. Went back yesterday and it felt so good to dial it back just 5 lbs on all the machines. No pain no gain I guess.
That's the deal right there: can you tie it in the boat. I can barely get a good FG 60% of the time on my couch.
a knot you tie well on the water is way better than the "best" knot.
I've had uni to uni connections fail. I've used a triple surgeon's knot with great results linking 8# leader to 10-15# braid. It's a very simple knot that holds well. Learned it when fly fishing.
I was about to post the same. The more I learn, the less I know. Same holds true for almost everything - drums, art, home repair, programming, process, relationships, parenting, etc.
Silver is the forgotten Finger Lake. If you're just targeting sunnies and blue gill, you can keep it real simple and hit the docks on the shore just east of Silver Lake Marine. Launch from the state park.
It doesn't matter what way you tie it. The tag back through the hook eye just helps keep the knot in a position so the hook hangs out. That knot doesn't even have to be a Palomar either.
