not sure how to avoid plugging, perhaps cast only after a period of hot dry weather, but the again its Ireland. :lol: when retrieving you have to walk to your lead while reeling in so you don't damage your line.

when i used tennis balls (many moons ago) i just made a small cut and pushed the lead into it and it was fine, but hockey balls are better IMO as there solid so you just drill a hole straight through..

Being that the hockey ball is alot less areodynamic than a plain beach bomb if you can get 140m from the ball expect more from just a lead, the idea of the ball is that it does not go so far when out practicing, hence less effort needed to retrive, and they weigh a touch over 5oz if i remember right, hope this helps.....
