I think it’s just them tear away idiots hanging round in the swale Paul. I’ve caught plenty from other rivers but them lot in the swale always seemed to pull that bit harder.Said it before, everyone I fish with gets a squeaky bum moment most seasons and none of them are reckless ( wandering away from rods etc)
My friend who fishes locked up was all smug with his latest butt grips, but it didn't stop the banksticks with buzzer bars getting ripped out of soft ground
Invariably it's modest fish that gets a rod, bigger fish seem to pull rather than snatch.
