How do you get soft baits like lug or sand eels 100 yards to where the fish are holding?

You spend weeks learning how to get the most from your beach casting technique and you find a mark where you can put all that practice into effect. You cast your beloved lug worm only to watch them explode under the pressure of them entering the water. There are a few answers to this problem.

The most simple is the use of an impact shield. This small plastic devise goes between the sinker and the bait. Its shaped like an umbrella and takes the impact parting the water allowing your bait to enter without being destroyed.
