How to use the washing line trick
And keep your main line out of sight
The Washing Line Trick is an incredibly effective method when it comes to keeping your main line totally out of the water apart from a small section close to your end tackle. This method takes a bit of practise to get right and it can only be done on marginal spots which are easily accessible from the bank. Not only does it give you the advantage of keeping your line free of the water, but it also means that you are a good distance away from the spot which ensures noise and disturbance is kept to a very minimum.
The equipment which you will need for this is a storm stick, a small length of cord that is attached to the top of the pole and a clothes peg (you can also use a rubber band or a Solar Tackle Micro Adjustable Line Clip), a long baiting pole with a spoon on the end.
