    Flopper got a reaction from Brodie_S in knots   
    got the knots sorted
    what's everyone's theory on leader length?
    I always use about 3 metres, that way when I cast the main tension & wear is on the leader plus I rerig lures & still have plenty of leader 
    down side is when I snag up bad usually loose a 3 metres of leader
    what's everyone's else's thoughts ? 😀

    I recently reloaded my reels with 6lb braid and bought some 10lb leader all has been good until this week 
    I tried to rerig yesterday & every time I tied my leader on it broke when I pulled it tight.
    I have been using a double uni knot
    Am I pulling too hard or has my leader had it it's only about 3 months old

    I'm all ears as it's all new to me.
    Went to Aussie Batteries at Warana & they recommended the 120 amp hr lithium 
    Watersnake manual says no circuit breaker required ?
    Hatch shuts almost water tight under casting deck not much moisture gets in
    Leave it open in my shed when not on use

    Got my electric motor all fitted off before Christmas 
    had it out a few times 
    still learning how to use it & get used to having control hanging off neck
    the anchor lock is great for just cruising around flicking on sandbanks etc
    it did struggle with the strong winds & big tides at Christmas 
    but so far very happy 😀
    can't wait to get it up to barumba 
    added a couple of photos
    cut the bow rail off
    bolted mounting bracket straight to boat
    packed it level with aluminium strip & ali plates under
    made a bracket to secure lithium battery
