Default waggler fishing

Hi,

When fishing the Warwicshire Avon and the river Severn in winter it is
nesecary to go as fine as 1lb hooklength and size 22 hooks to get bites,
mainly from Roach upto 6oz, I rarely get broken on the strike, mainly due to
the size fish and using a quality rod helps, I currently use the13ft Drennan
im8 super waggler rod which is a fantastic tool, I fish a lot of matches and
am always at the top end of the results after the weigh in, it's just this
line twisting that annoys me after a while, I will try those micro swivels
and see if they help though, I will try anything once.

Thank's for all the replies.

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.
