walshie 2,804 Posted July 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I don't think anyone needs to worry about that RAW. I'm not 100% how you tie a hook properly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
treecreeper 1,136 Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 where is the match? Your gear is a bit beefy for the river, but the specimen rod and a method feeder should do the trick for barbel and chub. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your gear is a bit beefy for the river, but the specimen rod and a method feeder should do the trick for barbel and chub. It's on a lake, but i don't know what's in it. I think i'll try the lighter rod, maybe get some 5 or 6lb line and some smaller hooks. Might cover a few angles with that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

heritage 202 Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Looking at the previous posts it seems to be more of a match venue than specimen . I'd definatly fish the pole... You can equip yourself properly but to do so would be very expencive .... You'll need a landing net / keep net, Pole (elasticated) Roller Bait boxes Pole rigs .... This should get you catching a few..... You could also opt for a waggler / feeder approach that would again require different kit.... Just all hinges on how much your looking to spend .

heritage 202 Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Go for a nice light waggler set up .....a second hand rod / reel, and a few items of terminal tackle won't cost much..... Wagglers Waggler attachments Reel line Shot Hooks to nylon Oh and don't forget your disgorger !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

walshie 2,804 Posted July 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I'm going to join a fishing forum to ask. I think you're all trying to confuse me with "method feeders" "dink dink" and whip. When i were a lad it were a 10ft rod, 4lb mainline tied direct to a no.16 hook. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
heritage 202 Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Just a quids worth of tube with a swivel built in the bottom..., ( normally 3 in a pack ) they allow for an easy float change and help avoid tangles when casting / retrieving ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
