nige i was thinking just that i think ive just found the answer to many problems cheers dan

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

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
