IMHO Pulleys are only any good when you have a fish on. By their design they require the load of a fish to draw the lead upwards above the fish. At all other times unless fitted with some kind of rotten bottom system they may be worse for hooks snagging than some other rigs as the empty hooks will h...

just my own opinion but if you are using a coloured mainline I would like to use four or five feet of clear mono down to the lure.

I have tried a couple that have caught pollack, not because of the scent but I use them for spinning, The 'Gulp' sandeel worked ok. I was given some by a local tackle dealer to try out for him.

the bail arm will snap over sending the lead along the pier? Newton's Laws of motion apply even on piers... if the weight is heading seaward when the snap occurs it will continue seaward afterwards. .....unless you can explain using some other physical laws. edited by steve(dontcatchmuch) on 6/6/20...
