The rewards of accurate baiting and getting your spot going!
Accurate baiting is very important to me and a hey part of fishing all rods on a single spot
When your rods are fished together tightly on a single spot, holding your rod tips together like this on a tight line will tell you if any are crossed over

06 Trim the tag ends to around 5mm and carefully blob with a lighter
07 While the mono is still hot flatten the blobs down to secure the bait
