My shotting pattern in the last month has actually changed totally to what I used to do. I know these floats that I'm using today take eight no. 12 shot, and what I used to do is just string them out over a four inch gap in a very basic 'shirt button style', but I've actually changed totally what I'm doing now...

This weeks top tip from me is going to be how to splice a Lead-Free leader. The components you need for splicing are a Leadcore/Lead-Free leader of your choice, the one I'm using today is Submerge from Fox, you also need a nice sharp pair of scissors and a Splicing Needle.

My top tip this winter is boosting your hookbaits, here's how I do it. Ok, so first off I'll take my chosen hookbaits, in this instance it's the Citruz Wafters. I'll then take two empty pop up tubs, and i'll empty the tub of Citruz Wafters equally between the two. Ok, so once you've spread your pop-ups equally between the...
