cheers you lot, getting to read all your replies and taking note but i'm off to Turkey for two weeks (might bring back some new fishing baits from me meals i eat out there) but still keep letting me know what tips you have for me or what else there might be for me to look at. have tried swimfeeder with 1" hook length - even attached the hook to the swimfeeder itself what a bang bite that was (used to score every other cast) and hallibut pellets chub love 'em any size of pellet. - Also I've got two Richard Walker Mk4 Avons 1 the SU version 11/4lb test would you use them ? as i keep getting told they should be hanging on the wall!!! regards, Speak to ya in a couple of weeks tanned & proberly still intoxicated (i hope).
