Or is it all a load of codswallop.
In the early days, many of us saw the shotting diagrams in Mr. Crabtree for fishing the Hants Avon. Then at a later stage we learned the designated number of shot, the size and the spacing in between by the top stick float devotees.
And in between all this lot, anglers such as **** Walker claimed it was all a load of tosh, bulked the shot about 10 inches from the hook and that was that.
As for myself I have shotted my trotting tackle both ways and caught plenty of fish both ways too.
But what do you think? Bulk shot or complicated shirt button style.
And recently I get the idea that we are coming to the end of the requirement for shot.
Extra Heavy Metal?
