    You can always use a bubble float. Loop a 25lb piece of mono with a double overhand knot, thread it through the eye of the bubble float and then loop that onto your main line with a turle knot. To set your depth get a couple of BB split shot and put one either side of the float, to alter the depth all you have to is slide the BB split up or down your line, takes seconds to adjust. To set the hook I use 15lb Mono to an aberdeen 2/0 to 3ft, anchored to a snap swivel with a tucked blood knot. This way all you usually lose in a snag or break off is a hook and some nylon.

    I used this method for a number of years and had great fun on lighter gear with smaller bubbles on. An added advantage is you can add or take off weight by putting more or less water in the float.
    It's a great way of fishing for mackerel or wrasse especialy using a little spinning rod.
    Here fishy, fishy!
