I can't comment Paul as i don't know him, anyway, I might just need his help!!!
Thanks for the advice Mark - ahem - I think I'll wait for me books!!!!
Thanks also Ryan, I have used a similar method on numerous occasions previously, but have not been satisfied, and as you say, it is rather fiddly - especially going down to such a small size
I started buying (h)air - lol - rigs from my local tackle shop after having been given a couple by a friend. I was so impressed with the results and ease of presenting the bait etc, and the resultant catches, that i just continued to buy them. Though expensive, it was too easy. but I WILL learn to tie them!!
