A little tip I find useful is I have a jig for making pole rigs, a piece of 1"x1" timber 1 metre long with map pins in either end I find handy for forming rig lengths. I don't like guesswork.

I measure out nylon by my arm span, 3ft to centre of chest, 4ft to opposite shoulder, 6ft full “wingspan”
The old adage of your armspan is the same as your height is actually very accurate.
Put dots of tippex every 6" on topkits and make a note where float and hook are in relation to them. Then if float get pulled up the line if get taken in to rushes, it is easy to go back to original depth. Or if you want to change rigs to same depth, again easy to check.
The SSG pinched on the hook was how I used to do it.If I can’t find my plummet I use a large SSG shot pinched over my hook.

There's a strange gadget in tackle shops called a pellet wetter, put your pellets in soak then remove.
Does that make my pellet wetter obsolete? My pellet wetter was my landing net :doh:What do I do now.
Use wifes tights as pellet wetter, .....make sure wife is not wearing them at the time, and your plastic pellet wetter as a colander.
