Now there's a thing Dave, how do plummets fair in the lead ban. Is the ban just for weights while actually fishing or does plumbing the depth count as fishing. I have wondered about lead wire wrapped around floats to make them loaded or self cocking, is this banned too.DaveM wrote:I use a similar method to Mark, but just wrap some lead wire or lead strip (the stuff for leading windows) around a bit of float rubber, you can have it as heavy or light as you like.
On silty waters, I also have some made up with lead wrapped around a bit of sponge to make it only slightly heavier than neutral so that you can find the depth without sinking too far into the bottom silt and enable you to sit a bait on the silt.
