Picked up a pair of crimps, a set of barrels & swivels and a big spool of 100# mono. Can you tell me some does and donts?? I surf fish, and I have been checking out Breakaways online videos and rigging. Tons of info there.
Anything you can tell me is appreciated. |

Go to Nick's( Breakwawayusa.com), Spend $4.00 for one rig, Sit and listen for one hour and you will gain $???????? of savings in wasted time and equipment plus gain valuable information to catch fish today. We never go to PINS without talking to Nick or the Breakaway board for the most current info.
The only trip we made to PINS and did not catch fish was with NO info from NICK- Go figure!!!!! _________________ Live for today, Yesterday is gone & tomorrow never comes |

Go to the above quotes. Don't use crimps. They fail much more often than one might think. 100lb mono is good! |

I've been fishing offshore for a while now, and the last three years professionally...I've never had a crimp fail when done properly. _________________ I'd rather be fishing |
