As a novice i have watched other people fishing next to me.

I agree a floating line will do for most things as long as you have a long leader.

But the bloke next to me last week was using an intermediate line and he was hitting the fish.

So for the sake of a tenner i,ll give it a go.

As to sinking lines i have only seen one guy using this at the resevoir and he kept getting stuck on the bottom. I,ll leave the sinking line for now but if i see fish getting caught will probs spend another tenner and put it on my old cheap reel.(i have seen it used on rivers and fish caught)

As to casting i am a complete novice but am learning. The bloke in the shop was saying the other day you do not have to cast miles.

I am even considering paying for some instruction. But i,ll see how things pan out.

It also makes sense the heavier the line the further it will go. But until i try i will not know.
