Ahh okay, thanks a lot Rocksy.
I've seen some 8lb-20lb carp shockleader on a popular auction site (item no. 390083185499). Something like that would be fine wouldn't it?
Would the usual rule apply for the shockleader also - about twice the length of the rod and a few turns on the reel?
One last question - Pete said earlier in the thread that I can just cast the jig into water and watch how long it takes to sink, but how can I work out at which depth to set my float so that the jig is just off the bottom? Is there a way or do you have to just take a rough guess?
Apologies for all the questions, thanks for all of the help <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
