smufter got a reaction from bluelabel in June Catch reports
Red letter day here today. Another Common (12lb) very similar to the second fish I've never had such a good day at White Cottage 😁😁😁

smufter got a reaction from ... in Jrc hangers - the worst ever?
I know what you mean about the JRC hangers. I've tried using them but they were absolutely useless, same problem as you.
If you are looking for a relatively inexpensive solution, the Wychwood "Slugs" are very, very good. Available in a range of colours, (I have the orange ones which are very easy to spot), they fit easily onto your line and more importantly release very easily on picking your rod up. Nice handy slot for an isotope too. Highly recommended.
If you wanted to spend a little more money, the Jag Safeliners are also very good. In practice, I found them a little trickier to get on the line, especially in low light conditions, but again they release very easily on a take. As I say, they are not cheap and work out a lot more expensive than the Slugs as you have to buy the special hockey sticks separately. The Slugs come with everything you need. They are also not as "visual" as the Slugs, the brighter colours available on the latter really do help.
I like my bobbins to be light, so in both instances swapped out the supplied chains with cord replacements, which is very easy to do.
I am now using Delkim slimlites, I find these to be fantastic. But I have kept both my Slugs and Safeliner sets as back ups.
For me though, the Slugs are unbeatable for the price.

smufter got a reaction from dayvid in Approaching a new water.
With wiley fish, the least disturbance the better. Try freelining a lump of luncheonmeat in a likely spot and sit on your hands. No alarms, just watch where the line enters the water. One of the most exciting ways of fishing.
