So what exactly is your set up stores?

Both set ups are in the book but in summary -

- on the beach I have a swivel, a sinker attached to it and a flowing trace, shortened depending on how much run there is. Never use a spider.

- up the skeers I have a 3 way swivel, 3 feet snood to my sinker and hook trace is 18 inches.

Change the measurements now and again but not the principle.

Aye im always a fan of the 3 way swivel but i like to make mine with similar length snood so i can clip it behind the lead to aid with distance

Very interesting thread, think its easy to get sidetracked with all the gadgets & gizmos, don't get me wrong the ones that have stood the test of time & do what they are designed to I have used my self over the years with confidence. But this thread has made me think that a lot of the time simplicity is the key. Never done a lot of rock or beach fishing with much success any how mainly fish piers from which I have always done reasonably well which I put down to maximising my chances ie the right tide for the venu normaly on a dying sea & having the best bait I can get. Hoping to do a bit rock fishing this year & what I've read so far has helped with a few basics just need to do some home work or buy David's book and get out fishing more thnx

Aah you have me there. I'm afraid distance isn't my forte. If I'm casting 100 yards you know it's wind behind and I'm on the top of a big cliff.
