The best connection knot for big game fish. This is called the Wind On technique. Best connection knot for heavy leader line. From 80 – 400+ pound test, this is the knot to use when fishing for big game bluefin, yellowfin, sailfish, grouper, marlin, and wahoo. Wind on leaders are a great tool in the offshore angler’s tackle arsenal. The theory is to have a heavier mono or fluorocarbon leader that threads into the inside of a hollow-woven braided line or Dacron. Using some specific rigging needles and a little practice, you can follow these steps to build your own wind on leaders for tuna, marlin and more.
