Struth Mark your a wealth of knowledge! I have not long ago moved away from using the running rig to a pulley - purely for longer cast but in saying that i was always a little worried that when the fish took the hook and moved away that the hook would be pulled from its mouth....well with a 100% hook up rate at the moment i haven't got that worry anymore. I am looking at using circle hooks on this type of rig - question: How long should the pulley rig be in order for it to work at its best?
