Fishing - Anglers Net - UK Angling Website, Magazine and Forum: Shotting Shotting ================================================================================ steverand on 02 February, 2009 04:17:00 Always endeavour to use smaller shot instead of the recommended shotting. 3BB stick float = 12 No8.
