@CarpMagic95 It's like a chinese finger trap - this is from wikipedia, and explains it (a bit) - Pulling the entire braid lengthens and narrows it. The length is gained by reducing the angle between the warp and weft threads at their crossing points, but this reduces the radial distance between opposing sides and hence the overall circumference. The more one pulls, the more the circumference shrinks (i.e. the trap tightens).
Why doesnt the bit you threaded back through with the needle and then cut it as close to the leader as you can, come back through the way it went once pressure is on it, such as your line pulling? as nothings used to secure it and surely if you pulled it through one way then it could just pull out again the other? Ill give this a go though as i wont lie ive been to worried to do it incase my attempt failed with a carp on or something. Your help videos are just fantastic. cheers
