if its salmon you're after, don't bother with fg. use improved albright and leave the knot outside the guides when casting slugs. the salmon don;t care about short leader and albright can be tied faster

To tell you the truth I use this for all my lure fishing anyway and keep it out of the guides, squid, bream, hardbodies, slugs etc

I use fg or uni-uni, and allways run atleast a meter of leader.

Works fine for me.

I tend to use a 3metre leader of 10kg and then a 4kg main line. I don't normally have a problem with the leader knot going through the rings unless using heavy line off the beach. Even then a dab of superglue over the knot smooths things out.☺
Cast, catch and put it back
