My egg setup for the canals (Tekapo/Twizel)
This is a more in-depth look at my egg setup, from my braid line to sinker line. The knots and everything I use are what I am comfortable with tying and have a good idea of how much pressure I can put on a fish during the fight. This is only a guide and if your more comfortable tying other knots stick with what you know. The basic setup will still be the same.

Rod - Okuma Nanomatrix 2.70m
CD Extrasense Nano 8ft3"

Leader Line - OCEA Leader 8lb Fluoro

Sinker Line - 4 lb mono

Hooks - Black Magic fly hooks G14 or G10

Yeah mate it's all trial-and-error.
Very informative many thanks, are you still liking the Extrasense
Great vid. Given the short distance from the braid to the leader to the swivel (2 inches) how come you don't tie the braid directly to the swivel. Also what fluoro do you like. I have had problems with breaks at leader braid junction with black magic but I use a uni to uni knot so will switch to your knot it looks better. Thanks again

Hey mate thanks. I just prefer fluoro to swivel. I don't really trust a straight braid to swivel knot. I use the shimano Ocea Leader. I've played around with a few different knots uni to uni, FG and a few others and have now settled with the alberto. It's faster and easier to tie then the FG. The slim profile is a lot nicer to go through the guides.
great vid. whats the setup for second egg?
Just about to do some online ordering. Do you prefer the sinkers with the wire out the ends or the ones with the slip thingy attacher? There's quite a range of weights available are there particular weights you tend to use mostly?

I find the Sinkers without the wire are easier to feel the bottom of the canal but can be a hassle to tie and they can snag more often. The ones with the wire are easier to tie but can be a bit harder to feel the bottom. I just have a mixer of the both. Weight all depends on the flow. I'd say mostly I'd use the mid three weights the most but I've also had to go the lightest you can get or the heaviest when the canal is flowing hard. You can never go wrong with a good mixture of gear
