    Braid shock leader

    Why would you use between 3 and five foot of leader? Hope you are not casting opposite me, the connection between your lines will be weaker than the line itself, with a long cast you could end up killing someone. The leader is supposed to act as a shock absorber in case something goes wrong...

    Braid shock leader

    Not always, depends on what I am am using the reels for. I have some 35lb tapering to 15lb mono which are on my Shimano baitrunners, I have about 9 metres of 20lb Flourocarbon on my MAP Carptek 4000FS reels but I do not have leaders on my centrepin reels.

    Ray Walton Rolling Pin Mk2

    Are Barbel the "new"carp ?

    I use my Bivvy on the Severn as it is a 350 mile round trip and I also have my wife with me, when I go fishing on the Severn it is typically for the weekend, the bivvy just saves us money for guesthouses. I also have buzzers but do not take them and when I am not in my swim I take my lines out...
