    Barbel Decline Theories

    Another good point Mark,so maybe when we are seeing to same results from so many different rivers and different scenarios there is one common denominator,the return of the otter.Difficult to argue against that conclusion

    Barbel Decline Theories

    Reasons for Barbel population decline

    Good post Craig,think that is nearer the mark than the feed issue plus of course habitat and predation,just my thoughts though I'm no scientist/biologist

    Daisy hyper sensor line.

    Hi Duncan, Been using it this winter for my chub fishing 6lb bs and it seems good ie abrasion resistance,little line twist but no worse than any other and lower diameter so less water pressure. I'll be using it at 10lb for barbelling next season,hope this helps.
