I just cannot fix small shot to the line and it i have to put say 6 on it will take me an hour and i will lose 5 for every one i manage! After 3 casts or bites i need to replace 3!
I know i haven't a prayer in putting 12 styls or stotz or their shot equivalent on the puller float i bought so it is consigned to my tackle draws.
If anyone who likes roach fishing wants it you are welcome to it !
Mike, I have an applicator for Stotz. Its a spring loaded wide tweezers in effect. Marketed by Daiwa when I bought it.
Its easier to put two no. 8 together to make a no6 which WONT PING off and can be slid if required.
The secret is to lay a no.8 stotz on your palm with the slot downwards. The tweezers are then opened against the pressure of the spring and you can grip the stotz.
You can then wave it about, take it for a walk or leave it in your tackle box...it is secure
Then you just lay your line in the slot of the stotz and squeeze. Done.
