    Straightening coated braid

    I don’t consider myself to be “dragging them in kicking and screaming” I’m using 2.25 TC through action rods and have the clutches on my reels set to give line,extra pressure is applied to the spool skirt in the event of the fish taking line.Ive used this set up for a fair few years and am happy...

    Straightening coated braid

    Before the ESP I was using Sufix Camfusion in 15lb breaking strain,however the Sufix was discontinued so I started using the ESP but the only available b.s was 20lb,this is used in conjunction with 30lb PowerPro mainline,all a little OTT it may seem but the idea is to get the barbel on the bank...

    Betalight/isotope alternative

    I’ve got two isotopes on my rods,one near to the tip and the other mid way between the last but one and last ring,both are in shrink tube and whipped to the blank,easy on the eyes and works a treat 👍

    Returning to barbel fishing.

    You could do a lot worse than Burton Mutual,plenty of the Trent to go at and the Dove,although the Dove is not the river it once was.The BAA card is also good value,plenty of the middle Severn within striking distance,good luck 👍

    Type of rig you use?

    I keep it as simple as possible,running lead,2-3ft coated braid link with the last half inch stripped back and a size 10 wide gape hook,plus a curved aligner on the hook and a 2 inch boom below the lead,works ok for me 👍

    barrels

    Tried both but generally use a single lengthways,I think it looks more natural amongst the freebies from the PVA bag,works O.K
