Legering Set up (help)

[Dick Dastardly]

Good stuff re the loop knots bruv,all to easy to assume that people know things that we take for granted.

Leeds as a thought have you got any fishing books? if not try and get one like "John Wilson's Coarse Fishing" it will show you lots of stuff.

Its finding them thats the trouble

Im going to leger on my river

 

So will it be easy to recognise a real bit from some drifting debree or the flow

 

I have 2 1/4 ounce leads and 2 1/2 ounce leads

 

Are they heavy enough

Leeds, it depends on how fast the flow is, they seem heavy enough to me though. One thing you can do is tie some line to the swivel and attach some ssg shots instead of a leger weight, this can be adjusted then.

Haven't read the thread word for word, so excuse me if I'm covering old ground here, but take a look at the rig on the bottom of this page:

There you have a rig that is easy to tie, has a good hooking potential and won't cause a fish to be tehtered if the line breaks.

Just a personal preference: instead of joining the hooklength to mainline via two loops, put a small swivel inbetween. Use the loops to join the two ends of line to the swivel. It'll help cause much less line twist.
