    Some basic advice.

    It wasn't a major issue I was just bringing bits back on the way in, I wondered if I needed to cover the hook in either some foam or a small pva bag before casting in, just to keep the point clear.

Can this...

    Some basic advice.

    Hi mate, really appreciate that bit of info! Am I potentially costing myself fish by trying to fish 2 rods self hooking style? Would it be more productive to fish 1 rod and have the rod to hand to strike at the bites, as opposed to sitting back and waiting for a fish to hook itself bolt rig...
