I did resort to this in the end, always nice when you can use something for free rather than buy something 'specialist' from the tackle shop. Not sure if my swim was full of smaller fish who kept pecking at my bait.
That's interesting, might try that. Also seen these spring things that look quite sturdy too. Was great to use the new scopes too, 1.75tc felt great as a do it all river rod with slightly more backbone should a carp grace the net!
