The most important part of the bimini is how tightly the line does the second coil around itself. I wish the Angler had done this a little slower, and with camera in tighter.
Whenever using fishing line as a subject on camera, you should use the black material background so that it would be more pronounced on the camera / video also wear a Solid black shirt as background to the line being more visible
Every time i tie the bimini, my mono (Or braid) loop ends up twisting horribly. I'm sure it is a simple thing that i am missing... but can anyone chime in?
it shouldn't. follow these steps and you'll get a perfect little knot with no twists. The twists should make up the knot and be locked down out of the way.
For bigger YFT I would suggest the FG knot. It's VERY strong and flies through the guides. There's a few ways to tie it. Google it and see what works for ya.
That's a pretty big reel for tuna, but any of the heavier Carnage spinning rods in 7' or 6'6" should work. For a bigger reel like that you're going to want a shorter, stouter rod to handle bigger tuna.
You can use it to attached a heavy leader with an albright not using the double line the bimini has formed. You can also use it to cats paw on a swivel for trolling.
what's your opinions of tying the bimini like this? it's hard to explain so here's the link to the video i saw ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9yab4-61Hp8.html
We think this method is easier and faster. That's similar to the more traditional method using your knees and feet. Give them a try and let us know what you like.
