1. What are the coloured balls and beads for that some people put on their finishing rigs? Some are floats to keep the bait off the floor to avoid crabs - glow beads to attract fish
2. How do I work out the cast weight for a rod? I bought a Fishtech 6'6" boat/spin rod combo with 20lb line but doesn't say on the rod the max cast weight. being only 6'6" it will cast plenty
3. Best rig for beach fishing with a surfcaster and the boat/spin rod? Just stick to a short ledger rig
4. is 150m of line enough for beach finishing with a boat/spin rod?Depends how far you cast and what takes your line
5. Does fishoil help? Secret sauce goes well on soft baits
6. does anyone use cone shaped floats when fishing?Used for live baiting generally
thanks
