you possibly could pull the swivel through but it would probably wreck the end of the stick. give it a try. as for hooklenghts that is down to your choice for what bottom you are fishing over. personally i like to use a soft braid with a stick. although i do use sticks on combi rigs and sometimes on fluro. hope that helps doug

instead of attaching a swivel make a loop in the end of the hooklink and attach that to the quicklink. it will slip through the mesh much easier doug

yet another boring choddy question............

i use bristle fillament in 15lb but i use a whipping knot. you only go through the eye of the hook twice and i find it sits much straighter than a knotless knot. doug -
But you still end up with feed under your hookbait. What's the point?

The one and only 'Proper' Jim Gibbinson line aligner ok can someone explain to me why the "jim gibbinson" version works so much better please doug

i had the same problem . i now use a whipping not also. slight variation on the way its tied. the best thing is the line comes straight out from under the knot. much easier to curve into shape doug

wherever there is activity in the upper layers. if i can see them on or near the surface i will use a floating bait or a zig rig under the surface normally in the top 2 or 3 feet
-
to fish a buoyant bait in the upper layers, close to the surface, to entice crusing fish.
-
to present the bait at different depths

i use the rigmarole 8lb hydrolink fluro with a 10mm dumbell pop up on my zigs and it works fine. i test it overdepth to make sure it floats. ita also very easy to Straighten out not sure i would use fluro much heavier though.
