{{+1}}Leader set up – 50lb with fastach connection and in-leader stinger{{-1}}
{{start}}
As the name implies this leader set up has a Mustard size 4 Fastach clip at the business end and a #4/0 Gamakatsu or Mustard live bait stinger after that. It is my goto leader for night time fishing of big soft plastics and PTE lures that have either only one hook or have a a couple of trebles but are still under gunned when it comes to handling big barra. I also use it when fishing similar baits when fishing offshore and I am targeting big pelagics with deep presentations and fast retrieves. The Fastach clip is important as it allows me to easily change my bait as conditions change during a fishing session or baits get damaged. The leader material I use is 50lb Sunline FC100.
You can of course adjust this leader set up for lighter and heavier leader set ups.
I start by connecting a stinger hook and Fasthach clip to what will be the business end of my leader, then I spool off the amount of leader required and connect that to my the 30lb braided backing with an FG knot.
The first step is to thread a size #5/0 Mustard or Gamakatsu live bait hook onto the line from the underside so that the leader will run along the back of the hook shank in the finished knot. Slide that up the leader out of the way for the time being.
