[NSRCA-discussion] Pull-pull setups

[Mark Atwood]

The ease of the steel setup has always been the allure for me.  I use
plastic coated steel fishing leader (20lb is more than strong enough) and
simply twist the end and wave a lit match under it and the plastic melts and
bonds it together.  No crimping or tying or anything.  Pull tight, twist,
heat, done.  If you have ANY fear of that breaking...try it outside the
plane and see how much force it takes to break. You¹ll snap 60lb test line
(can you tell I tried this?) prior to the melted twist giving up.
