How to make a Wind On Leader
Captain Ali Hussainy, demonstrates how to tie the best connection knot for big game fish. This is called the Wind On technique. Best connection knot for heavy leader line. From 80 - 400+ pound test, this is the knot to use when fishing for big game bluefin, yellowfin, sailfish, grouper, marlin, and wahoo.Wind on leaders are a great tool in the offshore angler's tackle arsenal. The theory is to have a heavier mono or fluorocarbon leader that threads into the inside of a hollow-woven braided line or Dacron. Using some specific rigging needles and a little practice, you can follow these steps to build your own wind on leaders for tuna, marlin and more.
Ali States; "I like to build all of my own leaders for our fishing. It's just a confidence thing for me when the chips are down," said Ali. "I will thread the desired size Seaguar fluorocarbon leader into their Threadlock hollow braid of a size that just fits inside. I feed about 18″ of the fluoro into the braid using a splicing needle. That is after I have used a latch needle to create a loop in the opposite end of my piece of hollow braid."
