Default Tips for trieing 125# mono for leaders.

I bean working with 125 lb mono and well trying to come up with a knot to go to 108 lb Tess .022 hard wire.
Did a haywire twist but my nifty knots for smaller stuff is hard to pull tight.i worrie about wire cutting threw mono. I already had a hook and wire fly to god know wear when the not let go at about 40-50 lbs pull. Mono did not cut but wire pulled back over its self all the sudden .no slip Gus let go.

YouTube vid of knot to come.

I also have a knot for mono to bimiheian braid. Still to test on high Tess stuff.

All work good at or below 80 bit it seems above 100 things get hard to set and so on.

Ya I could use crimps but im going for knots only no swivels crimps or rings.
