| help?!!! Having moved from course fishing to sea fishing this summer ive been enjoying good success from float fishing from rocks/piers. Ive tried ledgering etc and have had no luck at all, but i know nothing about bottom fishing. Can anyone recommend a good rig to use? also ive just bought a multiplier and new rod and have read about shockleaders etc what are these??!! someone was on about tapered ones for a level wind multiplier(which is what i bought). cheers     |

| Re: help?!!! a tapered leader is a line that goes from about 15lb to 60lb in a "taper". this means a smaller knot so it doesn't jam in levelwinds and rings. we usually have to use 5-8 oz leads for the strong tide. the formula for the strength of shockleader is 10lb to every oz (eg. 5 oz leads will require a MINIMUM strength of 50lb leader) hope this helped. |
