What Coarse Gear Do I NEED.

[Mark Elvin]

OK, so I have a couple of nice rods & reels, split shot, a selection of hooks (size 8 & smaller), masses of floats & a comfy chair (very important), landing net, unhooking mat.

I have on my shopping list.....

4lb & 10lb line
Preist (in case things go wrong for some poor fishy)
EA Rod Licence

Is there anything I am missing?

General fishing bits-n-pieces:

• Catapult for firing out loosefeed or groundbait accurately.
• Rod rests
• Disgorger
• Scissors or nail clippers for trimmimg line on knots & hooks etc.

If you are going to leger:

• A packet of running leger link beads/clips (Beads with snapclips attached)
• Small ledger weights
• Packet of ledger stops
• maybe a couple of feeders
• baiting needle & hair stops
• Maybe a small leger bobbin to hang on the line between reel and first ring to show bites (if you are not using a quivertip rod)

What's a baiting needle?

[BoldBear]

It's a needle that you use to bait up a hair rig with.

Ah I see, make sense now thanks.

On the subject of hair rigs, how do to attach a weight to them?

[BoldBear]

You don't, a hair rig is just a method of presenting your bait on the hook see link -> Hair Rig

Heres the simple leger rigs that I normally use :

Nice one, I was assuiming you run it as a ledgering setup, but thought I was being over simplistic. Thanks.

Mark,
Here is a diagram that I drew to show how to mount a bait using a Hair Rig incase it is of any help to you.
