I think Luke is talking about successfully settling the weight in a strong rip though, it makes sense to bang it forward so when rock meets bottom it’s not too far down tide back in the disturbance.

That was the point tho Jon, it's the bow of line that sets the lead, so as long as you feed enough line out, you can effectively cast it anywhere at a suitable angle. Generally on uptide, we use 25-35lb mono straight through, no leader. Mostly because we're not trying to bang it into the horizon as you would on the beach, although we often use 10oz+ leads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the knot is a weed magnet which is a nuisance when fighting a big pin whiting. This is what is putting me off braid. suzook12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I space my casts to stop the tangles, one up towards the anchor, the other across the tide. Bow of line ends up looking like I'm downtiding and often is past my downtider.
