I think thosed are used particularly for depths over 12ft. I personally would start at around 2ft. And wouldn't go above 5, theres not really any need to, if there that close to the surface, you should be floater fishing, more fun too.
Funnily enough iv'e caught most of my fish in the day, on a not so easy water too. Actuallly iv'e never had one in the night off that water. Very rare i catch in the night. always the day
Yeh seems a nice chap, although im not too sure about leaving your rods in the water while you go to a burger stand over a 100 yards away then leg it from the cue when you get a run. I'd say fair enough if you weren't on your own and your mates watching your rods or something, but thats taking the mick a bit.
I don`t think craiggater was talking about rig foam, wouldn`t be much good of a hookbait would it The one hes referring to won`t melt and its not like your throwing freebies of it in so theres only the one on your hair which is obviously unlikely to be eaten.
Thats ridiculous if you ask me, you have to use a braid with a certain abrasion resistance to use that hook , purely because theyre made badly.
Id be well peed off with that for a pathetic excuse, thats just insulting your intelligence
Fishing book is Ian Chillcotts " Light my fire " at the mo, been a great read.
Other type of book has got to be Dan Browns books, either da vinchi code or the lost symbol, both absolutely brilliant books
