Hi
I was wondering does any body know the cost of lessons and accomadation to teach me how to fish with buzzers and 15 plus leaders and flourocarbon as i'm useless.The flourocarbon breaks all the time in fish and can't seem to catch fish with sunken buzzers.
Regards Ken.

Its not that difficult.
1. floating line
2. ditch the flouro' ordinary nylon will do and ensure you are tying the knots correctly.
3. ensure you leader is balanced with a slightly heavier pattern on the point, say a size 10 with 12s or 14s on the dropper/s
4. Find a nice bit of bank with the wind coming over casting shoulder or blowing left to right if you are a RHander.
5.Cast it all straight out and ensure your leader lands nice and straight. Forgo a bit of distance for good turn over if need be.
6. leave it all alone and let the wind slide it all along.
& when the line slides away you should have a fish hooked nicely in the scissors.


Basic, but it will get you started.

would you like a wee chuck on linlithgow just to show you what your missing.

I'd actually stick to one buzzer for a start and fish it with an indicator. No lessons required.

Forget the float
If your anywhere near Draycote give me a pm will soon have you on the straight lined buzzers.F.O.C

Cheers Craig

Do not point your rod at the buzzer whilst waiting for a take.

There's nothing to cushion against a smash take.

Keep the rod as much as possible at a right angle to the direction of the line, so that when a fish smashes into the buzzers the rod tip is pulled around and cushions the tippet.

When a fish is on, keep the rod high and let it take line rather than lowering the rod when it runs.

Don't go below 8lb for the tippet, at least until you feel confident in playing a fish without breakages, and use balanced tackle throughout when using lighter lines (ie don't use a 3lb tippet with a 9wt rod!).

Good luck.

Believe your method will work!!!

Put trust into it!!!

I believe if you have no trust in your setup fish can feel this and wont play the game, a bit like a dog and fear lol

Good advice was having the same problem getting smashed until I used this method.
Will add one thing to this don't lock the line to the rod with your finger
