I am coming down to folkestone pier on Wednesday Morning for high tide and after.

Whats the best weights to use off the pier? Breakaway or not and what size would be best?

Thanks

Matt

The leads i use up the pier are these, or similar ones to them. They are made with a soft wire and normally hold in the tide pretty well, and can pull out of most snags.
