Great question, was thinking of using it myself this winter. Slightly tougher than normal meat so I'm sure it stays on the hair a bit longer also?

Interesting thoughts, certainly generated some comments and conversation. As I mentioned I fish the Thames and don't have any issues with the bottom rubbing the line so have been fishing mono strait through with some tungsten droppers range hook end to pin it down. Ive had 2 double figure...

My river fishing tends to be exclusively on the Thames which isn't too tough on the line but I was experimenting a little on the lakes this summer to try & figure out a suitable set up for the rivers. As I've said I've ordered some 25lb which I'm hoping will sort the issue out on the lake I...

Echo all of the above. Stunning fish & the barbel season has only really just begun!

The Thames is on the doorstep and pretty sure most of it will be free fishing. Bit further upstream from me so I can't help further but perhaps post on the river reports page for some local info?
