Mason Line Leaders

[PARSON]

I purchased my first Mason Leader line and now see why it is recommended for handlining. I never used anything above 12 lb stren before and had no problem tying the lures or making leaders but this Mason line is something else. Being so rigid I am wondering what are the best type of knots to use in tying leaders and also to lures. :) Thanx for all the help you folks are giving to this beginer at handlining.:cool: Think Spring!!!

I USED TO USE MASON BUT SWITHED TO VANISH IN 20LB. I THINK THE BEST KNOT IS A PALMER SUPER STRONG 90% OF THE LINE STREGHT.

WHEN YOU GET TO LEADERS AS LONG 40 FT. THAT HARD LEADER IS HARD TO BEAT WHEN IT COMES TO SAVEING ON TANGGLES.I JUST USE THE OLD FISHERMAN KNOT.

I like to use the palomar also. I tried the Mason line for Muskie leaders and it was tough to cinch down the knot. If you have this problem, try soaking it in hot water for a bit before you cinch it. WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH EVERYBODY TYPING IN CAPS? ;)

Where can you buy that Mason leader line?

[Gone Fishing]

I know they have some selection at Lakeside Fishing Shop at 10 mile and Jefferson in St. Clair Shores.

Mason is a brand name although I use the term to basically cover a braided dacron line. Originaly used as tip-up line.
...found a Dacron "trolling line" @ Gander mountain today.
I'm using Mason now but I really liked the color of this particular line.
It's called green dot which is white with small green flecks in it.
Looks like it'd blend in nicely.

WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH EVERYBODY TYPING IN CAPS? ;) [/B][/QUOTE]

Many people do not understand or have not been exposed to the etiquette of chat forums. Typing in caps is typically thought to be rude. When doing so the author is thought to be expressing anger or superimposing their opinions on the readers of the thread.

However, it no longer bothers me as much as the spelling. Using the words "there" instead of "their", or "than" instead of "then". Or like using "palmer" instead of "palomar". Where were they during English class.

Of course, it would help if the forum renewed their spell checker. But, that is another story.

WHATS A MATTER WID YOU, LL? GOT the PMS TODAY or WHAD. lol :D ;)

Lighten up dude, this isn't an exam and MOST of don't grade each other on our spelling or knowledge of the written word.

I am switching to Mason Leader line this year. Tired of twisted line in the night.

Hey Eddie, try Seaguar’s florocarbon. I think you’ll like it better than Vanish but it is more expensive. :)

[Get_Outside]

I'm heading up to Andersons this weekend. Gonna be an expensive trip. Whippin rods, mason line......dang!:eek:

[awfulpotent]

mason line is not a braided dacron it is a mono that seems to be a lot stiffer than regular mono

[Rat-Man]

Cabela's flourocarbon is made by Seaguar's and packaged for Cabela's and its a lot cheaper !

[Ed Stringer]

THATS FOR THE ADVICE GONE FISHING I STARTED USING SEAGUAR'S THIS WINTER AS A LEADER IT PERFORM GREAT AND SUPER STRONG , I WAS ABLE TO GO WITH 2LB. INSTEAD THE 4LB VANISH I DON'T MIND THE MONEY IF IT WORKS A SPOOL OF THAT WILL LAST 2 SEASONS OF WHIPPIN. LETS GO FISH SOME TIME !!

THANKS GO OUT TO YOU RAT-MAN FOR THE TIP ON THE SAVINGS UNTIL LATER CYA.
