Korda's Arma Cord and Nash's Armour Braid are other usefull options that can withstand the bedrock gulleys you will be fishing Paul. I've used both in the 20lb version and if pushed would prefer the Nash version but both do the job.

I don't really understand why some people get so touchy about tackle innovations from the Carp world. I bet most of those who do have used hooks designed for carp! If a tactic/rig/product developed for carp fishing can offer you an advantage in your barbel fishing then why not use it?

Alternatively you could carry on impaling half a can of meat on a size 2 and moaning that there are no barbel in your rivers anymore. ( none that are daft enough to fall for that tactic anyway :eek: )

I dunno why do folk get so touchy?

Of course you are wrong about the half a tin of Spam approach, it is still a very effective way of inducing a bite when they have seen enough of those carpy boilies to last them a lifetime....in fact zzzzzz I had my pb on a huge lump of the Spam when they were just sniffing at the Scource, gave her proper meal and it was job done:D

So apart from the hair rig, the leadcore, the safety clip, braided line, wide-gape hooks, baitrunners, delkims, 2lb+ TC rods , boilies, bivvies, rod pods, baiting needles, stringers, pva mesh, hangers and isotopes, what have the carpers ever done for us!!!

Love the irony:)
 
Just been sifting through the BFW archives and the use of leadcore was a classic thread back in December 2006, with opinions very much divided. However the main concern for those that were against the use of the stuff was it's potential to tether, however amongst it supporters was a Barbelgirl 123 (who had more front the Weston Super Mare) and here favourite venue was Adams Mill (pb was 18.2:)
Whatever happened to her, Adams Mill and the Barbel?

Leadcore? :D
 
Barbel girl, Leane James? was 6'3" and had hands like a bricky, she scared the **** out of me .
I seem to remember she had a few health issues. I have no idea where she went but I hope she's keeping well.

In a non sexual way of course.
