Tip of the Day

John Warrener, from Derbyshire, says:

"When rigging up a rod with a leger rig, thread a bead and a snap swivel onto the line first, then if you want to change to a float-leger rig at any stage, you can do it in seconds by adding a stop knot and clipping on a float.

"Home-made pencil floats - mine are orange one end and black the other with an eye at both ends, using said snap swivel can be quickly and easily reversed to suit light conditions."
