    How does line go through the ferrules ?????? The only proper join is a splice, waxed thread wound carefully, whip finished and rolled. Never known to fail if properly done.And it goes through rings like a charm. Jim Clarke

    If you are hunting trophys in the salt I'd suggest a double Bimmini twist.

    Lineside,,, yup, thinking that too for the gel backing. But, still like the Albright for the line end.

    Could...anything that catches on the ferrules is a negative and could cost a fish...read that trophy...in a perfect world,,, I don't want to feel or hear a click if something goes through my ferrule...

    A little confused on this one. Ferrule is where
    rod pieces connect, how does your line effect that?
    Are you talking about GUIDES?

    I know.. I know... I was just hoping that the Castwell Knotzi would make an appearance if I mentioned it.
    You called? Why the shot?

    Having just read all the upper comments I would suggest that a BRADED LOOP be attached to the line then a tucked blood knot to this for the backing.

    If you're so unsure how about that Allbright? A standard!
