leaders are much simpler, however not as safe..... personal prefrence, i guess..

how many big marlin boats do you see using windons???? not many thats for sure. a billfish is a billfish........ i go with the tried and tested before technology.

I gotta respect what you are saying.
YOU HAVE BEEN THERE n done that. Knees dug in. Hold that leader at all costs.
Wow!, I'm sure that it was a rush.
(wish that I had found blue water fishing before I had children and associated responsibilities... LMAO)
I still gotta inquire... what makes the longer leader system so great?
I've been on the angler end of windons. It weren't a tournement fish. That said, catchem up n let em go. Get em done!
Ain't the release easier on a windon?
Tell me where I'm wrong.
Yes, I need a picture...
