It is teeming with small rudd which is why my set up is a size 11 Kamasan Barbel Maxx hook, with two grains of sweetcorn for bait. Hook lengths are 3 lbs b.s. Drennan stuff around twelve inches long in conjunction with a 1 oz Drennan cage feeder loaded with mashed bread and sweetcorn. Basically it is a very similar set-up to that I'd have used on Startops whenever I fished there. I have to say that I was rather chuffed when that fish turned up. It being the first roach I've caught by design since those halcyon days of long ago. With this cold weather associated with these incessant N/NE winds looking set to continue right through the next week, I don't see much point casting a bait in their direction. High pressure means I'll be sticking with the zigs until we get a change.

I did wonder about your thoughts on the use of those tiny hooks as in, how do you see the things, let alone tie them on?<br />Hook lengths can be supplied all set to go if wanted. ps I can still tie size 20's spade ends by hand.Richttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714117508358025668noreply@blogger.com
