Berkley trilene flouro

I like the barbel blitz too. I do wish they weren't pre drilled though.

Regarding triline flouro. I 've been using this in various b/s for a couple of years for my hooklinks. I have had a few break offs. Always an inch or two below the quick change bead thing. Any theorys nehind this guys. I personally always use flouro for my hooklinks. Less strech, less memory...

Hi Mark, do you use a loop tyer?

I had a session like that about 15 years ago. Maggot n hemp in a 50g black cap. I was into a fish within seconds of hitting the surface. Lifted the rod to give line on impact. Closed the bail arm and bang rod was bending round. 13 barbel one after another in 3 hours. My brother in the next swim...

Fair play to him for posting it.

Slightly off topic. Talking of powermesh rods. I bought an ex display 2.75 about 6 months ago. Which arrived in a padded bag that accommodates a ready made up rod and reel. A month ago another ex display came up from a different supplier. This one arrived in a standard rod bag. Which doesn't...

Hi, beat my pb yesterday with a 7lb13. Had 2 hookpulls on 14's (think I need to go bigger). Had a hook knot give. First time I can remember a palomer giving. Also lost a carp at the net. Still enjoyed myself plenty going on.

Good point I remember fishing at Bridgnorth. Going 6lb straight through, don't remember losing many neither.

Catfish love tench. So I've heard
