Plumbing up on the pole

STEP 1

Pass your hook through the eye in the plummet

STEP 2

Secure your hook into the cork in the base of the plummet.

STEP 3

Lower the plummet into the swim below the end of your pole.

STEP 4

Add a section of pole at a time and plumb around the swim, lowering the plummet straight down, not at an angle, to ensure an accurate reading of the swim.

STEP 5

Once you have got the exact depth of the swim, hook your hook into the base of your pole top kit. This will pull the elastic out slightly and secure your rig. With Tipp-Ex, mark the point where the top and the bottom of your float sit against the pole. This means you always have a point to refer back to should you change the depth you are fishing during the day.

A. This shows the float is set too shallow
B. This shows the float is set too deep
C. This shows the float is set perfect
