    Not necessarily. I don't mind an element of imbalance in my rigs, imo it can make them hard to eject. Therefore I'll often fish 11 mm and 13 mm on size 4's. I've been know to use size 2's (in other patterns) for 16 mm which is as big as I go with hookbaits. The smallest hooks I use are 6's.

    The black ops stuff has just been discontinued for the new range on sale soon. Cleverly just before Christmas of course! All the big names ‘re-design’ their kit and improve it. But sold the first version on the basis it was the best ever!!

    bigger baits!

    a lake i used to fish had a group of grass carp that would always be seen together, two fairly large and two or sometimes three smaller/younger fish. the two larger carp would herd the others toward the floaters and as soon as one got hooked they would hoover up what was left. this was witnessed by me and others for at least two seasons and there was no record of the two biggies ever being on the bank? strange that.

    That give you 3.5 fish per acre which is not easy. On my water I'm looking at closer to 5.5 fish per acre so still pretty tricky. It's easy enough to go on long blank runs, believe me I've been there. If you're confident in the rig you caught on, use that imo mate. I would never choose a second rig for the sake of it. I would only ever choose a 2nd rig to suit a specific substrate, spot, or situation. Adapt to the angling situation, and what you can see with your own eyes. First thing I would do in your situation is adapt to the weed - long chods or variations thereof smashed straight into it on one rod. Still very effective if done right!

    Kamakura hooks

    From what I've seen you do very well and I'm guessing you have a good head of fish to go for on your water. My decent syndi is 9 acre with only 32 known fish. My targets are the 4-5 Redmire strain commons, all 30+. I'm intending to use Scopex Squid next time out, + kamakura's😉. I only get the odd 48 sesh. I want to maximize my chances anyway possible. I've only had a small stocky so far, better than some but the weekly lads do 6-10 a season. I'm confident in the rig I caught on, but would like to try something new on the other rod(2 rod only) which I always try something different with. Which rig would you suggest, known spots in each swim & 3-4ft canadian everywhere else!!!

    true, very little small stuff in there either. My point was exactly that. It isn't a method to stop catching smaller sized fish, its a method to associated a spot with a free food source over a long period. Weeding out the bigger fish is only possible on the surface or selectively stalking, and even then a smaller one may nip in first, or be sent in by the bigger fish.

  12. My Lo Pro, home for 4 days over the weekend. Minute and a half to put up, 50 seconds to pack down, 3.3 kg. Great coverage as you can see, it was smashing it down. Really impressed with it.

  13. Yep. And the worst thing was I booked Monday off work to do a day down the local for probably the last time this year and I came down with a bug Sunday night so couldn't even go.
