Having some issues when breaking down my rod when i'm done fishing. Do you guys keep your shot lines and leaders attached when youre done fishing or does it all come off and get re-tied when fishing again. I have to experiment with the length of line out when i break my rod down so i can find a spot to place my hook and it just seems easier to cut the line at my main line swivel. This brings me to my next point...does anyone use a snap swivel when float fishing? seems it would be fairly easy to use a barrel swivel on your main line and attach your shot line to your main with a snap. would eliminate knots on the river if you pre-tied your shot lines and leaders. Thanks!
