    Unexpected 'cut-offs'

    I had this a couple of weeks ago at Ladypit, landed 5 , 2 hookpulls and 2 with the hook missing. I put it down to Chub bite offs. I was using korum 10lb b.s. smokescreen braid. I do know they'll bite your line through just above the hook with no indication.

    Through experience, I've found that you need to re-tie any link knots after a good tug, I've used X line in all breaking strains for many years, just re-tie your swivel knot ( palomar) after any hard pull.

    No mate, creel is a way below on the same side as Cobleys, which is the new fishery.
