An interesting way to "tie on" leaders from Gamakatsu

Obviously this is for shorter leaders, but it might be just the thing for the "Alberto and FG Knot" impaired." I would use a clear plastic bead ahead of it to keep it from clanging into the tiptop, but still, its a, interesting new concept (to me, at least). I'm not sure if this has any real advantage over a simple barrel swivel, but its new, and that's why its here.

Absolutely 'ZERO advantage over a barrel swivel and, IMO, it's a big step backward in that it won't help decrease twist.

Seems like another thing to deal with. I try to use as little jewelry as possible, but thatโ€™s just me

I will try just about anything, but I'll keep practicing the FG. Your bead suggestion is a must. That thing looks like it could do some damage coming through guides.

As can a barrel swivel - no need to ask how I know this. . .
