If you're using a size ten, I presume you're going for something

use a self-cocker, cocker!

Your signature is borked, it's supposed to come after two -- and a space,
yours is just two --.....most newsreaders don't recognise it as a signature
and strip it from replies.
toolsoptionssignatures...paste it in there and let OE do it for you!

I have been scaling down on the float size and up on the hook size.
I have a small float and the smallest size shot that I have that if I
use a size 10 hook and 3 maggots goes under and is very difficult to
see.

If I don't use a shot, it doesn't cock.

Any ideas?

All I can think of for it is in dead calm clear water.

no, it has to be underneath the two -- and a space....Forte agent has the
same options as OEfor putting signatures in, it'll do it for you and insert
the -- .

You can have as many as you like, and when your sending a post, click
insertsignature....there's some brilliant signatures knocking about....

Hmmm. Forte Agent is what I am using and it was another group that
said I needed to use -- - Agent doesn't seem to add it in
automatically.
Not to worry.
