I fish out of Grand Isle Louisiana and I am pretty good at checking often. Last season I had a 50 lb leader when I caught a good-sized Bull Red. After release never realized I hooked up to something started pulling drag, and went slack when I brought my line in my snap was unlocked and straight with the hook gone. Needless to say, I am never using a leader line with a snap swivel again.

You did this article before!? But like I said last time I don't take chances and always either retie especially after a big fish like the 45 inch 20 lb red I caught on wend I if I don't retie at least run the whole leader and even part of the main braid through my lips which are alot more sensitive then just feeling it with my fingers never had a problem with this technique and until I do I will keep doing it thanks for the info and all you do
