Back when I was a kid I use to make small burley pots out of film canisters with a few wholes through them and stuffed with fish scraps. Would attach them to my swivel via a snap and cast out so that I had some burley action right near the bait. Use to make it easy to cast unweighted baits too

PAUL forget the waratah  just use a piece of plastic 60ml pipe lenght depending on how high you want the holder  ,work that in to sand works fine and also works well on rocks easy to jam in some where

or to take it one step further...

Piece of PVC pipe (gotta love this stuff!) with a short length of concrete rebar hose clipped on to it for those teeny, tiny cracks in the bricks.

After leaving one behind, I made a rush job for a trip and it was only duct taped on and is still going after three years.

For fishing livies, a small carabiner on the end of your anti-freight train tether will slide down and sit nicely at the bottom of the rebar giving a good strong anchor point (if your tether is long enough)

At low tide, bury your weighted berley bomb in the sand, run length of cord back to HT line.

Once enough water has covered it, give the cord a yank and pull the berley out of the sand.  It'll sit there doing its thing, and an occasional pull on the cord will give another puff of goodies into the water if you want to.

- Use a rolled sheet of 2 ply bathroom tissue as impact shield on your surfcasting ledger rig.. they bust out when wet. I can give further details on this if anybody is interested.

- You can use worn out spark plugs as weights.

- The cork from a wine bottle can be put thrugh the trace just above the bait to make it float above the bottom.

I like this idea alot paulylovesfishing, can easily make it adjustable too, by using a wing nut and a runner for the bolt to go through at the bottom to change the angle of the rod tip to the water, might have to make some of these up I think, cheers

All very interesting. Some great ideas!... but do you take your boat down to the beach with you when you go surfcasting? ... Sorry!

JK, wash your mouth out with a dirty pillie! Nothing wrong with the dirty 30s mate!

Only 30 eh . . . . . . . . . oooohhh I wish I was only 30 again.
 
That idea of buring your burly in the stand does work reall well. Need some weight in the bag or a bit of folded over rebar stuck into the sand to stop in coming back in too soon.
Yes it was me, I screwed it up for everyone.

 From experience - it probably wouldn't hurt to whack a 12/0 hook onto the bugger too.

Only 30 eh?  Wait til you get to the filthy forties.... Things really start sagging.
Forget trying for that six-pack gut and settle for a keg LOL
