i had been tying green suffix 832 to a cross-lock snap for easy changing of lures.

this past summer i fished with mono while casting cranks around my local waters and didnt have any bite offs.

im thinking ill leave the snap tied on the braid and then use a 3-4 ft piece of mono as a leader to the crank while trolling. i wont have to run the knot through the eyelits because i wont be casting.

for christmas and my birthday i got some more new fishing gear.. go figure.. ive acquired a nice new rod and spinning reel, a bit heavier than my standard stuff, so ill be able to cast/troll cranks on that set up. it might be my primary rod for this year, who knows! that will probably be 8lb mono the whole way
