keep hearing people mentioning using 1/2 a tin as one bait!! 🤪 are you REALLY using baits that big??? I usually use a 1” square piece on a hair or a 3/4” punch to cut out a (round) piece about 1” long……🤷♂️
Big bream caught by design are awesome (IMHO!) and although seem plentiful nowadays are still a reasonably rare fish. I’ve had plenty of nuisance carp (to 32lb) whilst fishing for them! Would have a 13lb Bream over a 30lb carp any day of the year!!

Most of my sessions seemed to take place in a heavily coloured & flooded river due to the amount of rain we had last year and it wasnt...
Hi (again!) have a post looking for a 4000D so i can use my OC’s for Tenching etc but also thinking about a pair of Daiwa GS 5000 and keep the OC’s for Barbel if anyone has any for sale?
Hi, I have 2 x 4000 OC’s and love them but could do with an extra pair if anybody fancies selling?
Would consider 2 more OC’s but fancy the D’s to leave on my Barbel set up
Thanks
