welcome to the forum mate. I usually go through grange road when going towards blackpool/fleetwood area. Only been fishing 1 year myself in these area. Maybe will do a meet soon enough with a few others, all depends how long before i can go out when my 3rd baby due to arrive next week.

Use 15lb mainline but DONT FORGET to use a shockleader. The general rule is 10lb for every oz of lead. ie if you use a 6oz lead use a 60lb leader.I alway use a 70lb leader so as to cover all leads. The leader should go around the spool 8 times plus 1.5 times the length of the rod.
