Hi folks we are off to N Wales in a couple of weeks for my annual worm
drowning but this year I bought a couple of Bass rods bigger reels etc
rather than my usual use the carp rod method ( which is less sucessful than
David Coulthard ) and fly rod yep I do better with fly!! . So armed with 3

If you'll be on neaps you'll probably still do better with fly. Try spinners
too.

oz leads 20lb main line then what? I was planning on using rag and frozen
sandeels so would 4-1s hooks and 10 lb cast be about right? we'll be over

Main line's a bit heavy. Take a few 6/0 hooks, use the rag to catch a wrasse or
similar and then fish a half or split-whole wrasse of around 6 oz. Freeline
in the margins or use just enough lead to take it to the bottom on the edge
of a channel. A whole joey mackerel is a good substitue if you can get it.

A short shanked 4/0 is about right for peeler crab.

Cheerio,
