I fished with a no-name 4.5 feet rod and a Shimano DL 2500FA reel loaded with 4lb Maxima Chameleon.
The hook length of four inches was created by nipping a size 8 shot on the line below a 3mm bead.
The lead was 1/8th of an ounce and the hook was a Drennan Super Specialist size 18.
I fished with a single maggot and fed maggots and brown crumb in six feet of water.
