I\'m fairly keen on the \"snag every drop and lose the lot\" technique
I usually favour losing a few hokkais first, with pirk if used, have tried losing lots of royd lures this year, which nearly did as well as the hokkais, but found I did tend to bring some fish back on these from time to time, which is no fun. Daylights are always useful, but as I make them myself I have to loose loads before I am really out of pocket. Mostly do the above unbaited
do sometimes try losing leadheads and jelly things, but not had enough experience to comment fully. Usually come back tied in a knot
do like to use a huge string of beads (Ann Summers) and shiny things for flatties when the ground allows, with 3 head hooked rag. Not too keen on this as I end up catching fish that way
pink hokkais often have the edge over the yellow ones I find, orange pirks. Daylights with a few strands of lurex in work tons better than plain daylights.
if all else fails copy everyone else
