fishii Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Hi All Was using a float rig for rock fishing.I wasn't able to cast as far as I wanted .The rig was a float connected to lead, then to a swivel and hook . I thought its because the bait and the lead went in different directions . Is it ok to have the lead on top of the hook so that the weight allows more casting distance ? Or is this bad for rock fishing. Sorry for asking noob questions and thanks for any info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xerotao Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I do that for tailor fishing. No issues for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berleyguts Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I see no reason why it wouldn’t work, especially if there’s a wash around. I often fish just a ball sinker running onto a hook (no float) for pigs, bream etc. and I don’t think it puts the fish off any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koalaboi Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 If you use a running float it will help with casting and also give you a better range of depths for your bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
