Ball and oblong Styx weights have different contact with the line and different role in the rig. Use a tool designed to be inserted and removed instead of clenching with pliers or teeth. After correction, run your fingers along the precinct and check for flattening. If you are moving weight on the leader, do it carefully and re-examine the fishing line before casting.
In feeder, the groundbait is selected according to the distance, depth, current and consistency of the feeder. Too light a pattern can shift, and unnecessarily heavy to overload the top and make the landing rough. The shape of the basket affects the bottom retention and release of food. Check the total load against the rod test, including the full feeder.
The hook, the leader and the aggravation must be proportionate. Fine rig with a small bait requires different wire and leader than a large fish or strong draft option. After each contact with stones and shellfish, inspect the tip of the hook and the last centimeters of fishing line. Keep individual sizes marked because mixing close pellets changes the rougher more than it looks dry. If in doubt, test the rig in shallow transparent water before fishing.
For arrangement of the entire rig compare Fishing Weights and weights for float, then consider the appropriate Feeder Feeders. Complete the system with Hooks, and fishing lines and leadersselected for the specific bait, current and expected load.
