I bought some 30g and 40g in-line weights while I was in Spain. Oval shaped designed for the line to run through. Is that what you mean Eccles?
Seems a good idea as I have been looking at lures with a bit of casting weight in them.

Ideal mate 40 gm might be a bit heavy though - cut a bit off if necessary. The really important bit is knowing when the fish are going to be there and that may mean a bit of research. E.g. I pretty well know when bass are likely to turn up at a harbour entrance which I fish because I can see bait fish in the water - round about 2 hours after low water. Another estuary I used to do always produced for about an hour around low water because there was a deep pool where they gathered waiting for the tide to start coming in.

Nice one BBM I have a load of lures that I puchase some time ago but never got round to using them. It's a pity were so far apart as you could have advised me on what to use for and when. I will however try to photograph them at a later date and post them on the forum. At the moment Im doing the same with my rods and reels. I got the ideal rod for you beachcasting and the reel to go with it. It will even bring a smile to your face. keith
