What is the reason for wrapping lead wire on the hook for paste fishing, is it necessary to weight it or is it just to help the paste grip?

May be of interest, maybe not, Korum Paste Cages are pretty handy, either on the hair of tied to the hook, great with spam.

Hi mate, you could put a couple of beads on the hair to give the paste something to be moulded around

I thought so, I'll probably just do a couple of stop knots with heavy mono, I won't be using a hair so I don't think the cage/spring things will work

You could try these, I use the Meat Mate version at times, Enterprise Paste Mate

Korum Paste Cage, as said can be tied to the hook

If using the bead method make sure they can't come off.

I like the idea of the enterprise ones, I'd probably just use a pellet and a short bit of mono for the same effect though.

I'll be trundling it along a river so I don't really need something to hold for ages, it'll probably be 10 mins max between casts using a fairly stiff boilie paste
