I'm interested. Pm'd you

Different swim, different day. Wondering if next time I should be baiting the line they're topping👍

I have no doubt in the method I was using and how it was applied. Same river, same technique yielded 5 barbel in 2 hours the following morning (Thursday). The question was more on my potential watercraft failings. 👍

My question is, is it a given fish rolling and breaking surface, will this be the line they are feeding on? I spent some time in a swim Wednesday. I plumbed the swim and found it dropped from 8' to 10' in front of me from up stream, then from opposite bank to near bank, 6' to the area of 10'...

Alternatively where any supplier who might have stock

I like shimano. Before I (stock permitting) purchase a 4000d can anyone sway me to an alternative. Its to pair up with a chimera no2. Thank you Paul

Cheers bob

Ah OK. I have 1 chimera no2 which I picked up 2nd hand. I have what was sold as a no3 at 12ft but the diameter of carbon on the butt section is massive compared to the no2. Does this sound right? Or could I have a higher t/c rod than I thought I bought? Bought 2nd hand.

Where was this for sale mate? Might be interested if you're not.

They drill really well too, which for my impatience is a real positive👍🏼

I'm glad you mentioned this. My second set of flyweight have had me scratching my head in disbelief. Utter rubbish

10m to hand🤣

Watch this. Unreal. And how tight the swim is. Good chance they would have snagged him with conventional feeder

Maybe Mark. I had initially put it down to that. I felt resistance on all but only for a split second which would suggest pulling the bait from the fish rather than the hook not setting? Who knows.

Already was. Nothing complicated. Free running to a hair rig on a 2' hooklink. I've used the same set up many times even to a 12 hook with no notable failed hook ups

Wasn't hit and hold as such just close enough to have more peace of mind with the more powerful rod. Hair so top of the bait was 8-10mm below curve if hook. No kicker. I've used them but mainly on a wide gape pattern to get the reaction that I usually find with the curve shank. As mentioned a...

No micro barb. They're not straightening just not setting. Never had the issue before and certainly not 50% of bites. I'll have to go back to the wide gape pattern and the biggest issue will be getting them to feed again🤣
