I can see lure tuning being addictive like other elements of the sport, I've had a go at hot foiling and refinishing some myself and there os an extra buzz when they work, but lately I've kept things simple and got the spray can of white out when a lure is too battered to use.
The idea of...
Palomar knot for braid to lure clip, even I can tie it in the dark and if you can believe YouTube its the strongest knot going.
Alberto knot for braid to leader, much easier than an fg, I never reel my leader through a guide.
A little vid of my fishing buddy returning a nice fish a few months ago. It was a pb that gave a really good account of itself, so very nice to see it go back strongly..
I've been using monster w8 this year without issue. In my experience wind knots show up if you put too much braid on the spool or when using lighter lures without giving the braid a pull against the drag after casting.
Was a proper wrestling match with this one, gnarly ground, 2ft water, 5m out. Tempted by a SG pulsetail, couldn't believe the size of the head and tail on it. Adrenaline fuelled crappy measure pic, went 76cms with both hands free.. new PB for me !!
Have a look at google earth or bing maps, anywhere they are caught on bait is worth a go, you're looking for structure and current, water clarity and a foot or 2 of swell..
