Times have changed but not the habits of fish. Fish always seek slacks in floods unless I have learnt nothing in decades.

I take your point Neil but all my feelings are that 8 oz in any situation is OTT. Surely finding bottom with a lighter lead and producing a bow in the line is better? Given the sub service is not nearly as fast it kinda makes sense. For me slinging out that weight would negate any pleasure in...

No but I have the Severn, which is arguably more of a torrent. Any bait presented in a torrent that requires 8 oz leads would seem to me, anyway where the Barbel are not. Surely slacks and near bank are better? Lobbing out half pound leads, crazy IMO.

Yes I know that, I live by the lower Severn, but come on half pound of lead? Fish a bow in the line or slacks.

Why on earth would anyone use 8 ounces barbel fishing?
