Now do I bimmini twist the end of my line to form a loop? This is where I connect my wind on right? How heavy of a wind on and leader?
Is Capt. Bouncers video on swordfishing any good?
Thanks
The problem with videos is they don't talk back when you have a question apart from the recorded content. Go into a good tackle shop (Bass Pro doesn't count) when they aren't busy (weekday, mid-morning for example), spend some money, and ask for advice/help. When you leave, you'll have a basic understanding of what you're going to be doing, your tackle will be right, and you'll have laid the foundation for a friendship with a tackle store owner that'll steer you right on future purchases and help.
