shotting

[towpath2]

when applying shot sizes 10 and smaller i use styl pliers to tighten them
any other ideas

[ridgeacre]

I would say you are using the right method

[TEAM RATTLER]

Hi towpath2,
I use the wifes eyelash tweezers. With them being a bit more flexible you get a bit more 'feeling' when squeezing if you get my drift!

i use exactly the same as team rattler, here comes my feminine side, if you go boots you can find tweezers with a wider end to them, making it easier to use

I use my teeth.

i used to use my teeth till they all fell out,must have been biting the shot to tight.

Try using ZLT shot,deep cut super soft moves on the line without damaging it..It's the best i have ever used bar none.

I use my teeth.

I aint got any, well not enough in the right place

styl pliers....... have to be the right tool

[TEAM RATTLER]

Tweezers and ZLT shot = the perfect combination!

Tried shot with style pliers but still found more ended up on the floor so switched to using styles, much easier, better pesentation,easy to move around, don't damage the line and cheap!
If you do use shot put a blob of bluetac on the side of your shot container, put the shot onto that so you can easily move the shot around on the blue tac until the cut is uppermost then lay your line over it then use tweezers or style pliers.

stots have replaced all my small shots......i still use the big stuff canon ball size is about right for my eyes i have not tried that new tool that cuts and places shot on your line i seen the video..just cant bear to part with a tenner
