How to attach a Shock Leader with Big Bird

Shock leaders are becoming a necessity when feeder fishing at distance and using stiff rods with heavy feeders, to reach distances of 80 metres+.

But what are shock leaders, how do they help the angler and how do I use and attach one? Well, Big Bird explains all and even gives you a step by step in how to attach one to your line!

Nice video BB, but is this video because you got a new toy to put theory into practise?
Now come on guys and gals lets all help this man out with reaching 1000 subscribers.
Anyway Happy New Year to you and your family BB.

Hi bb, just come across this video, happy with attachment of the leader, but what length would you say the leader should be ? Hope that makes sense ?

Hey BB, great vid, I use this knot to attach a leader, any reason for the 4 turns through the loop? Or is it purely what ur comfortable with? Cheers
