Last two days was 90-95 ft rigger in 150-180 fow with Ron's Morning Wood behind a white green dot spin doctor running the hottest. Lots of broken leaders from Atomik- which i have never seen before. Is anyone else experiencing this? Pretty sure we are up to 7!

I'm sure it just bad luck. Atommik uses top grade floro leader. Teeth are big and sharp this time of year

[allaboutfishing13]

Had a couple break half way up the leader this year. And they were fresh out of the package.

[buckboardjr]

Same here allaboutFishing13... Three of mine were just below my loop. I was surprised cuz Atomik is known for quality and had always done great...

I had the same problem a few weeks ago, wondering if they have a new supplier?

[DJ 17]

I've had 2 dreamweavers snap off the last 2 weeks as well.

[Roughrider IV]

Thanks for the scorecard, nice to get a feel for the bite before we arrive tomorrow. See you out there!

[Kooter469]

Hey Buck, iv had two go to heck on us in the last few weeks Atomiks each time. I do understand they got sharp teeth now just seems wierd the way ares broke off. I lost a Gorman fly Friday but no doubt it was on me my knot imploded.

[mailtime26]

How much line do u generally let out while running a spin dr fly combo before attaching it to the ball? Thanks just starting my first yr out here just trying to fine tune thing's a bit

Been very frustrated with break offs with Attomiks this year, I hope this can be corrected, way to many quality fish lost.

The hook ups are second to none, great product just hope somebody can look into changing the leader, i would personally rather pay a little more than keep losing fish.

WTG buddy!! Awesome trip!! Any pics of you with the bicycle helmet (dunce cap) on? Lol. I've done a few a bites on that morning wood fly behind the green dots.

40-50 lb MONO is the way to go with flies not fluoro you need "give" with the hardware and it's down deep so visibility isn't relevant and the stiffness thing is overrated. Fluoro often breaks at the knot itself because it is "brittle". Many big kings have succumbed to mono in the past.....I know in advance that many die hard fluoro fans will probably have "fits" about this comment and I use fluoro too but I don't think it is the best material for the fly application.

This is Something I never really thought of since they come in the package with fluoro. I've never had one break unless the drag was set too tight with a screamer on, but I suppose the mono would give me some room for error.

Deeper depth can run 5 to 12 ft behind the ball - depending on how they like it. takes a little experimentation each time.

Many of us switched from mono to Floro Leader material years ago mainly to stop the bite offs on meat rigs. It was a near 100% success though the material was pricey.

I'll have to get schooled on video editing!
