same old faces

Got to agree, a couple of great post,s from Tony and JW, welcome to NESA mate.

One thing from Tony\'s post that hit home was. \" I don\'t use bait clip\'s swivels or beads\"

This is something that I have talked about for a long time to a lot of friends that I fish with.

I don\'t fish anywhere similar to how I used to fish and I think that one or two of my \"old ways\" seemed to bring better results. Not saying that these things are not a good idea as I have not tried doing without them.

I have been thinking of trying a couple of sessions to see if I am right. This post has made my mind up an I will let you all know how I get on.

Jim.

do you use rotten bottoms tony ? if so , what kind do you use ? cheers

[tonytaylor]

Occasionally I do use rotten bottoms. Usually only when fishing amongst big boulders. ( I dont fish that type of ground very often) I do not use them when fishing into kelp. (very frequent )
I have used cannylinks, smilers rotters and modified Gemini links.
The cannyliks are good and really do work. I use Sakuma Manta hooks from 1 to 5/0. I do not lose much gear or fish!
Hope this helps.
