Hi basspoint,have pm,ed you about pics, Buy a small bird peanut feeder,cut it down the middle,tighten up the coil,remove a fairy light from its holder,put in the feeder and add molten lead, this will weigh between 2-3oz, so no need for extra leads,you can add grips if you want,you will get two feeder rigs per peanut feeder which cost 2.99,so they are a cheap alternative and work very well for flounder,pollock,coalies,dabs,and of course doggies

I put up some posts on feeder rigs in the tips and tricks forum. Forgot to mention the fairies tights though :lol: :lol: Jokin aside the bird feeders would make good cage feeders that would act as a weight aswell but try to get ones that are not too bulky for casting.

Another option would be to get the plastic ones used by coarse anglers and make the holes a bit bigger and use them inline (as per the diagrams I was talkin about).

A third option, and I hate givin away too many tips is to make a flyer style rig with the feeder inbuilt!! :wink: I use these wen I'm tryin to hedge my bets using a pennel at distance with the flyer slidin out to closer range and it then has the added attraction of the feeder at this range. :wink: :wink:
