Question

Why can’t I get my wind on leaders to hold at the connection I have tried serving, nail knots and glue but your C16 hollow just does not hold the monofilament? What am I doing wrong other then spend A LOT of money?????

Excellent product

High quality easy to use for making wind-on leaders for salt water fishing.

Excellent

I purchased these so I could thread some shooting heads thru them so they would have a heavier breaking strength and stand up to the rigors of dredging along the coral drop offs. It worked great.
