Legering Set up (help)

[lyn]

If you have rubber beads they do tend to fit over the eye of the swivel, just keeps it in place and not running up & down your line. If you use a plastic/glass bead that would be free running as there is no give in them but they do the same job.

 

A swimfeeder will attached to your link swivel, some are already fitted with them but you still need the bead.

 

Honeslty you are not causing hassle, we were all trying to keep it as simple as poss so that you could understand, that is the only reason I didn't want too many suggestions until you had this clear in your mind.If you are unsure then just keep asking until you are that's what we are all for

 

I have a dyspraxic 9yr old and because of it he picks up things far quicker if he is shown how to do it than someone telling him. Unfortunately it is difficult to show you even by putting pictures up.

 

Do you live in the Leeds area?

I am going down to fish the Bristol Avon at Lacock next week, email me a contact number and I will sort out meeting up and show you what we mean. Unless one of your parents can get you to Lacock then you can fish the day with us.

I have 3 - 4 ready made hooklinks that my dads friend gave me for fishing the method and legering

 

They are made out of silk braid with a mix of 4lb , 6 lb , and 8lb breaking strains

 

Will these do for legering

 

The barbs my dad pinced fell of for some reason

 

The hooks range from size 10 to size 8

 

Thanks

No braided line at longleat

 

Might have to use legerstops

Whats wrong with braided line

 

Have any of you never used groundbait on a session

[lyn]

Some say braid can cause damage to the fish, hence some places banning it. I would check as you may be able to use braid hook lengths. If not just make some up with the mono line you have.

 

As I have said before, it is all down to personal preference. I sometimes use mono.

 

If groundbait is banned I would tend to use a maggot feeder on the same set up as we have described. Or find out about boilies, although these can be expensive.

 

Hope this helps and well done for making up your rigs.
