I only problem I see with that style of clip is that it looks like it would catch a lot of grass.

Those are neat but where I fish is so full of logs and tree branches it wouldn’t work for me.

Received a nice little package from Digitaka today. I am going to post my first impressions on the corresponding threads for the various items.

As far as the lines/leaders:
* Varivas Ajing Master Shock Leader 0.5 (2 lb) will be used with my Varivas Ester line 2.3 lb on my UL combo.

* Varivas Trout Shock leader for my mountain stream spinning combo equipped with 8 lb braid Varivas super trout advance

* Sunline FC sniper 4.5 lb Fluoro on my bass rod. No leader

* not sure about the 0.6 (3 lb) Varivas shock leader yet I just got click happy when ordering

Interesting that you would choose a 4.5 line. When I quit chasing green fish I was using 6lb mono and smaller baits like a 4” plastic worm and 1/32 bullet weight. Caught more fish than my friends and landed some over 5lbs. Refreshing to know that I wasn’t alone in that thought.

That specific number for the line is quite anecdotal actually. First I’m able to spool the entire line on the reel with no leftover around the house. My finesse rod is rated up to 6 lb line so I wanted to go slightly lighter. Besides last year I caught a 3 ft striped bass trolling for crappie on a 4 lb test line lol and I figured I didn’t need anything higher to catch Bass if the drag is properly set.

Does anyone know of an ester or nylon line from Japan that is the same color as the ultragreen maxima? Or same color as trout sos? I am looking for 2lb, 2.5lb, or 3lb... I haven’t located anything in the darker green color... it seems that I am not to fond of the bright colored line... any help would be appreciated...

I’ve tried several brands of Ester. Never seen the green. I had a black line....I think Tict made it.
