pully snood
have tried lots of snood lines on pully rigs and most end up in knots , amnesia seems to be about the best ,not interested in fluro as i find it too unreliable for knots and abraision anyone find any wonderfull alternatives?its for hounds,bass and ray so needs to be good all rounder?

Re: pully snood
What breaking strain are you using.
I use 20lb Berkley Trilene Floro
and don't seem to have many problems with it. Then I don't suffer from a million pin whiting playing a game of tag with my snoods

Re: pully snood
I got a role of Grauvell shock leader yesterday roger in 50lb, it's nice and soft and knots down really tight. There is a 30lb in it that I'm going to try for pully snoods. I'd say it will do the job nicely. I'm with you on the Fluro. Horrible stuff.

Re: pully snood
I find if you use a pulley beed I get less tangles. I use a 18" snood amnesia line & 50lb body leader.

Re: pully snood
I use a big barrel swivel and 8 mill beads I find smaller ones block with sand ,the barrel swivel holds the snood out from the rig body,and yes Donal it whiting and rockling chewing away on big baits that and a big surf that seem to feck up the snood!to be honest a two snood cascade rig with Pennel's works better if the sea is too rough!
