Sea Fishing Angling

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...

Any of the Varivas hooks will be excellent for what you want but I have a little question? Are you fishing from the shore into a dirty mark?? If so you may want to consider not going for the strongest hook you can find but rather try a good quality aberdeen style so if you hook a snag at least you m...

I've only had problems with the tip eye shattering on mine. Been using a pair for a few years and the only reason they are not popular is they don't say Zziplex on the label. Many people see to want to be seen using the right rods rather than judging them on the abilities.

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. Forget what you here about red being the first colour of the spectrum to vanish under water, if that were true why do so many lures have a red tag on them somewhere or w...

I'm off from this forum as sensible replies are being moderated.... but before I go I will add this in the pendulum cast the power is applied when the lead is behind and to the left of the left shoulder....look at youtube vids....if a snap off occurs when that power is applied the lead will continu...

WR 300 is a hell of a stick, great for stopping tope or dragging conger out of rocks. Imho try one of the new AFAW tournaments or a Nemisis slr from conoflex.

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...

whole or live joey mackerel would be the better option imho.
