I use soft tipped rods, strong wired bos sinkers and 6kg line that stretches and doesn't pull the sinker wires.
When you've cast out wind tight to form a nice bend in the rod tips. When theres a strong crosswind walking up the beach into the wind from your holder then casting can help hold your sinker in place. The wind can blow all it likes if you can maintain the curve in the rod and tight line.
When fishing circle hooks your rod will straighten up indicating a take. Or you'll get that good bender from a strong take.
Reflective tape works well for night fishing in strong winds too.
Tip lights alone move nonstop but if you've got reflective tape down the top third of the rod you can see the curve of your rod with light on it.
Hope some of this can help.
