Genies cost a fortune. You can get something called Rotters for a fraction of the price.tony wilson wrote:I'm sure a granny knot in the same strength line would weaken it sufficiently so as to act as a rotton bottom however it would also be severely weakened during the cast and would be dangerous for anyone in the vicinity. With the Genie rotten bottom link you maintain the strength during the cast and have the weak link only when the lead enters the water.
There is no harm in casting with a granny knot in the snood but you could loose a good fish.FishingFreakJack wrote:spudgun wrote:Do you use a weaker snood to your main line?tony wilson wrote:Its a matter of opinion, I fish here with plain leads (no grippers) on a rotten bottom. Cast in and allow the lead to find a snag (they always do here). Might lose the odd lead but you'll get your rigs and most importantly your fish back. Need good hooks which will bend rather than snap and check they're sharp after every cast. Also use strong line at least 25lb and a good shockleader to haul the fish up the wall. A drop net can be useful if you hook a decent cod too. Don't be afraid to lose some gear, the fish are there because of the underwater structure, not in spite of it.
Thats my opinion anyway, for what its worth!

I disagree. A rotten bottom could help at some parts around Ravens.benh wrote:Correct mategerwyn wrote:Lilly ponds
