Default waggler fishing

Why the hell would you fish with a 1lb hooklength at distance? I am preety
hot on the slider and big wag here on massive lochs, and I would NEVER use a
1lb hooklength at 50yds+ and I fish at 100yds regularly. You will lose fish
on the strike, and reallly there is never any use for them. TBH, i dont
evenuse hooklenghts on this circuit, just fish straight through with
something like feeling. How far are you fishing? If you ever use a
microswivel, remember that they weigh about the saame as a No.8 shot. Sorry
if I sound like a wet old blanket! (i.e. Derek ;-) just kidding!

Hi,

Does anyone have a solution to line twist on fine hooklengths when

waggler
fishing? When fishing the waggler at distance and using hooklengths of

1lb
to 2.5lbs I get a lot of line twist after a while which drives me nuts.

Thank's.
