I assumed the hemp would fall through the mesh and therefor solid bags were required?

Thanks for the info. Whats the best way to attach the PVA bag to your terminal tackle when casting?

Think what?

As an alternative to expensive isotopes I can recommend these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sea-Coarse-Fishing-LED-Rod-Tip-Light-Strike-Bite-Alarm-Alert-Glow-Warn-Lamp/312130338430 Someone on this forum recommended them so I gave them a go and was very happy. They flash bright red when you get a...
