Wire diver rod with leader

Anyone else use this setup when using diver rods?  I was getting ready to spool up my diver rods with Torpedo 19 strand and ran across this tip.  It's seems to like this would take care of a few issues when using wire line.

So braid wire leader and the mono leader would attach to dipsy? I am looking at switching my dipsy rods to wire for next season

In my case it would be 1000 ft of 19 strand then 25' leader then dipsey.  I'm kind of leery of the extra connections with the leader though.

Run wires with and without the extra mono leader on end. No issues. If you “break” your rod downs between trips the mono prevents the wire from “pig tailing”. Like I said I have both and run both

This is how I run my wire slide diver and have never had issues with the extra knots. It's a necessity with the slide diver, but I have been thinking about doing the same with my standard divers because I have never had to cut off wire because of a pigtail on my wire slide diver. It's a great idea, IMO.

 

Heat shrink is a must on the wire knot or you risk abrading your flouro or mono.
