Again, like the scissors, this isn’t going to be lengthy but – get some swivels, they are useful and handy to have at hand. Anti-glare finish and a decent breaking strain would be a good start. They come in different sizes, but if you can, get the ones the fit snugly into a lead clip, use can use these for the more advanced rigs then.
Any rig swivels
such as Korda or Fox will do the job.

He writes Fishing Again to put the things he learned the hard way into plain language: location and watercraft first, then bait, rigs and gear. He is straight about which kit he has actually fished and which he has assessed on specification, and says so on the page.
