One thing that I do slightly different with my foam is to cut about two thirds down it's length with scissors and the push the cut area across the shank of the hook from point to hair. I then bury the point in the un cut section and simply moisten the back to stick it back together if you like. This cannot then tangle and it is still very aero dynamic for long range casting. Like you I like the Solar nuggets as you can see them pop up on the surface after a short while and this is a good accurate pointer for baiting up. Cheers Jamie Great advice Elie.

A little extra effort but well worth it for the peace of mind it gives. Shaun Excellent tips Elie, there’s nothing worse than thinking everything could be in a mess on the bottom.
