I saw something on youtube where he wraps electrical tape around the reel first before he puts braid on the reel because it acts as a cushion. Line lay? Does that mean how the line sits on the reel? I will eventually get a better spinning rod and reel but I just bought a cheap kit so I can just...

I'm relatively new to sea fishing yeah and no I'm not a wind up merchant, i'm here because I wanted some advice and I thought a sea fishing forum would be the best place for it? I don't see what the problem is Wolf? Isn't that why we are all here?

Ah awesome thank you so much for all of this info that has helped me so much. So the shockleader is tied to a swivel and then the choice of rig onto that? Thank you mate I know the guy in Redruth, JJ bait and tackle was closing down months and months ago and when i popped in last, probably...

Yeah Cornwall is pretty mint for fishing spots to be honest. Na it's not there anymore mate. Absolutely gutted. I think the one in Redruth has closed too so I'm not sure where the local one is, Hayle maybe? Yeah I'm gonna see if my mate wants to go in the week. I need to get some driving lessons...

Ah legend man, thank you! I didn't know if you could tie it onto the mainline once the line was already on the reel. All the videos I've seen for it just shows someone tying two spools of line together not to mainline on a reel. That probably sounds stupid i know 🤣 im useless when it comes to...

Ah okay with the shock leader how would I tie that on? Is it possible to tie it on to my mainline that's already on my reel? Or does the shockleader have to be tied to the line before it is spooled onto the reel? The videos I've seen are people tying it on to line that hasn't already been...

Thank you so much for all of this, yeah I managed to find the book of rigs and downloaded it as a PDF last night so yeah thanks to everyone who mentioned it. Is the shockleader more for bottom fishing? I have a couple of Float fishing kits but the weights included in one of them was a...

I play fishing planet haha so kinda got some knowledge (as stupid as that sounds, i just don't know how to apply it i guess. I used to go pole fishing with my dad and then I bought a carp setup but my friend was always make rigs for me and all I have to do is tie them on and bait up. Again...

Ah thanks man What weight clear mono do you use with your braid?

Thank you man. Hoping to learn from the experts haha.

Thanks guys yeah I'm going to get some books especially for tying different rigs and stuff. I mean, I know how to tie basic lures on (The ones with hooks on them, lures that you have to put onto Jig Heads are a different story as I haven't used them. I would like to experiment with them...

So I'm relatively new to fishing, to be honest I used to go with my dad and he used to set my rod up for me. Lately been with my friend who has set up my gear for me. I never tied rigs or anything so I guess I'm a complete beginner. I bought a budget spinning rod and reel combo and a budget...
